Not very long ago, the whole idea behind Make America Healthy Again was treated as something marginal, something that just wasn’t on the radar of ordinary people. You weren’t supposed to ask why American children were getting sicker. You weren’t supposed to ask why chronic disease kept climbing while we spent more on healthcare than any nation on earth. You weren’t supposed to question the chemicals in our food, the power of the pharmaceutical companies, or a medical system that creates and then manages illness far more aggressively than it ever tries to prevent it.

MAHA changed that. And here’s what I want you to understand: our first great victory wasn’t a law or an executive order. It was breaking the silence. Millions of Americans started asking the same simple question at the same time: Why does the wealthiest country in the world have the sickest children? And that question has traveled from podcasts and hospitals and kitchen tables all the way to the White House, into Congress, into state legislatures, medical schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and corporate boardrooms.

Because MAHA is bigger than any of us now. It’s an idea. It’s out in the world, it has its own force, and that force is only gaining strength. You can tell, because everyone is suddenly trying to co-opt it. You’ve got AOC saying she believes in it, while attacking the very people who fought to make it top of mind. You’ve got CNN and Politico and The New York Times attacking it from every direction at once: one day it’s not moving fast enough, the next day it’s dangerous and moving too fast.

That’s what it looks like when an idea becomes unstoppable. And underneath it, millions of Americans are quietly changing their lives, changing what they eat, the pharmaceutical products they are willing to put into their bodies, and realizing there are no experts they can trust. They need to become CEOs of their own bodies and make informed decisions.

Because science became a marketing tool for somebody’s product. And of course the people who use science as a marketing tool will call us anti-science or anti-capitalist. But we are as pro-science and as pro-capitalist as you can get.

We want to unleash an epic era of open innovation, encourage the fast-tracking of real breakthroughs that make people from all over the world come here for treatments they can’t get anywhere else rather than American citizens traveling around the world for treatments that are not available here. Believing in science means believing in a process that delivers better health, at a fair price, within reach of ordinary people. We are getting there with the current administration that is fighting corruption, and fighting fraud, waste and abuse.

And the progress is real.

The federal government has rewritten its nutrition guidelines around a principle that never should have been controversial: eat real food. The FDA is moving against petroleum-based dyes, and companies representing roughly forty percent of the food and beverage industry have committed to pulling them out.

We’re finally moving to close the GRAS loophole that let manufacturers declare their own new chemicals safe without any oversight.

Forty-two states have adopted MAHA legislation. Twenty-three SNAP waivers now keep taxpayer benefits from paying for soda and candy. Lunchrooms across the country are serving real food again.

Dozens of medical schools have committed to actually teaching nutrition, because 1.2 million people die every year from food-induced chronic disease, and eighty-five percent of that is preventable.

The Presidential Fitness Test is back.

And on vaccines, we’re seeing what would’ve been unthinkable just two years ago: the childhood schedule reviewed instead of relentlessly expanded, parental and religious exemptions defended, and honest research into vaccine safety and the true causes of autism finally underway.

But let me be honest with you. MAHA has not won. Not yet. And maybe there’s never a final victory over the relentless onslaught of greed and corruption that circle public health. A press release is not a healthier child. A voluntary pledge is not a product changing on the shelf. A proposed rule is not a final rule. Powerful industries do not surrender billions because someone asked them politely. There is and always will be resistance — from the food companies, the drug companies, the lobbyists, the bureaucracies, and the operatives who got rich off the system that failed our children, failed all of us.

Now, I know that for a lot of you; the progress hasn’t come fast enough. Secretary Kennedy spoke to that directly last week at the Children’s Health Defense conference. He didn’t dodge it. “A lot of people in this community,” he said, “get frustrated about the slowness in government,” he said. “A lot of them expected me to come in and make sense of this whole system and bring changes immediately.” And he explained why it can’t happen overnight: “In government, a bunch of things have to happen before something else happens, or you get sued. It’s a very laborious system, and there’s a lot of inertia built in.” We’re putting science first, he said, and “unfortunately, we’ve had a dearth of science for thirty years.”

But his message was unmistakable: “You have friends in the White House, and we are doing this one day at a time. We’ve accomplished in nineteen months things that would have seemed unthinkable two years ago.”

And here’s what I need every frustrated person in this movement to hear, because it matters more than anything else I’ll say today. Your impatience is not a flaw. It’s one of the greatest strengths this movement has. The job of any activist has always been to push, to demand more, to refuse to settle. So stay focused. Keep demanding more, better, quicker change. But don’t let frustration be co-opted by Big Pharma, Big Ag, and Big Food. Don’t do for free what they’ve been paying people to do for years.

If your frustration turns into pulling back your support — sitting out, staying home, punishing this administration for not moving fast enough — think hard about what you’re actually doing. You’re not summoning some purer, faster, more perfect folk hero. There is no magic third option waiting in the wings. Let’s not hand the reins of government right back to the people who held them during Covid. The same people who gave us the mandates, the lockdowns, the censorship, the loss of your rights, and the injuries so many families in this movement are still living with today. To the people who failed their way to the top, the people who are working for Big Pharma, Big Food and Big Ag. That is the real alternative.

So yes, progress is slow, because the system was built to maximize profits at the expense of public health. This is why MAHA has to be bigger than any one administration. ,

This movement, this idea, has to belong to the parents, the doctors, the farmers, the teachers, the scientists, and the citizens, permanently. We changed the national conversation. Now we have to change health outcomes. And we do that by staying in the fight, together, aiming our fire at the entrenched system and never at each other. Because, as Bobby says, we have to love our children more than we hate each other. And this administration, while not perfect, has in fact done more in 19 months than any administration in 50 years. That’s why the companies who have been poisoning us have been spending more on lobbyists in the past two years than they’ve ever spent. They know they are losing.

Our anger, our frustration, our boldness is a sign that we are winning. We’ve made extraordinary progress. But this is only the beginning. And if we stay courageous, stay alert and refuse to bow down to pestilence, refuse to allow ourselves to be co-opted or manipulated or tricked, we can strive and succeed to become healers. We can leave our children a healthier country.

Now, we have a tremendous lineup of guests today. You’ll hear from Noah Syndergaard. Julie Lapidus. Dr. Joseph Antoun. Derek Merrin. Dr. Daniel Pompa. Lina Lyons Hjalmarsson. Miriam Eckenfels. And Russell Brand.

But first, we’re joined by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. She is one of MAHA’s most powerful champions in Congress. She was the architect of the Luna Amendment, which passed the House Farm Bill and stripped pesticide companies of their liability shield. She is one of the most fearless voices in Congress for transparency, accountability, and the right of Americans to question what they’ve been told. Representative Luna, welcome back to the MAHA Media Hub.

For a generation, a handful of powerful companies captured the health agencies meant to protect us. They focused almost entirely on infectious diseases, even though those diseases were increasingly under control for decades and because of that chronic disease exploded. It was all about how to make as much money as possible by spreading fear of contagious disease, and manufacturing the science that justified it.

And chronic disease grew exponentially— asthma, allergies, autism, ADHD, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, all of it. Now over 1.2 million people die each year mostly from preventable diseases and 90% of healthcare costs go to treating them. In 1980, 1 in 10,000 people were diagnosed with Autism; today it’s 1 in 31. Asthma was 1 in 33; today it’s 1 in 12. Food allergies were 1 in 100; today they’re 1 in 12. Type 1 diabetes was 1 in 39; today it’s 1 in 14. 1 in 5 children are obese and 1 in 4 young adult women are taking psychotropic medication.

That was the record they built and that’s a record nobody should be proud of. And the people they rewarded, people like Dr. Fauci, failed year after year and kept getting more money and more power and more fame.

Put it in perspective. Sixty percent of Americans have some form of chronic disease. As Bobby Kennedy says: “a healthy person has a thousand dreams; a sick person has just one — to simply get better.”

But what makes being sick even more painful is not knowing you’ve been lied to, not knowing that you’ve been poisoned, not knowing that your pain was preventable. Not knowing that the very things you trusted to be safe are what made you sick.

In a communist country, you know you’re not free. In America, we believed the opposite — that the government was on our side, that we had more freedom than anyone on earth, that our lives were happier and healthier. But you don’t, you can’t have freedom if you can’t get honest, accurate information? A choice between McDonald’s and Burger King, between Coke and Pepsi, between thousands of food products containing 10,000 chemicals, between one kind of water that contains glyphosate and microplastics and another also with glyphosate and microplastics – isn’t a real choice. Most of our choices were made for us.

And the worst part is when people come to love the coercion — when they’re proud to be told they can’t make their own decisions, that the experts will decide and their only job is to obey. But the experts and science itself have been captured. Our doctors along with the government agencies and the media have been bribed, conflicted, and coerced until they didn’t know or care about the truth. They’ve all become marketing arms and coconspirators for the very companies making and keeping us sick for profit.

George Carlin saw it thirty years ago. “It’s a big club,” he said, “and you ain’t in it. And it’s the same club they use to beat you over the head in their media — telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy.” He was right then. He’s even more right now.

That same media tells you that Bobby Kennedy is ‘dangerous.’ So let me tell you why he is dangerous, and who he’s dangerous to. He’s dangerous to all of it. The whole system, the corporate corruption, the captured government agencies, the lies, the propaganda, the censorship; and he’s been setting the record straight, delivering MAHA wins and fighting the battle of a lifetime. We are winning this culture war, by telling the truth, with transparency, by opening people’s minds that were previously shut — ending the Stockholm syndrome that made Americans grateful to their own oppressors, and giving people the tools, and the gold-standard science to start thinking for themselves and making better decisions. Because there is no freedom that matters without intellectual freedom, without free speech, without an open marketplace of ideas. And that’s been taken from us. Bobby Kennedy prayed for twenty years for the opportunity to restore it — and God gave him, and us, President Trump.

Vice President Vance said it best at the Republican [Midterm] Convention last week “I want my son to grow up healthy and strong. I want him to have access to clean water and real food. I want him to live in a country where you don’t need a PhD in chemistry to understand the ingredient list in the grocery store. I wanna live in a country where my son’s doctors answer to parents and to the Hippocratic Oath, not to a bunch of far left bureaucrats.”

We all want that for our families. And we get there with real science. Because real science is simple: innovation leads to better health — less chronic disease, less autism, less cancer. Corruption stifles innovation and scientific progress, and that’s exactly why we fell behind, that’s why we spend three times as much on health care than any other nation but achieve much worse health outcomes.

We can be a country that people travel to from all over the world, for the best treatments, the safest drugs, the healthiest food, and crops grown clean. That’s the country we’re fighting to build. And we’re just getting started. As secretary Kennedy said last week at the Republican Convention. “We have kept our promise to the American people. Today, 2 years into this administration, Americans are eating more Real Food. Real Food sales were up 8% in 2025. Americans are eating less processed food. Since President Trump took office, obesity is down by 7% after 40 years of increasing. Preliminary data that I received two days ago from CDC indicates that we have now reversed a 30-year decline in longevity.”

The upcoming midterm elections give the American people the opportunity to continue the incredible progress. Candidates like Zach Lahn in Iowa, Ken Paxton in Texas and so many others are the future of MAHA, of our growing coalition to take back our health from the dark forces that have poisoned our children. The MAHA Action PAC is proud to support Zach Lahn’s campaign with a $1 million dollar donation this week because we believe that regenerative farming, freedom and family values are the way to restore our nation’s health.

We have a tremendous lineup of guests to help us build it.

You'll hear from Cheryl Hines, Sean Stone, Dr. Sina McCullough, Dr. Jonathan Lundgren, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Brian Stenzler, Mary Holland and Russell Brand.

But first we are joined by Kyle Diamantas, the Acting Commissioner of the FDA. Prior to becoming Acting Commissioner, as the FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Food, Mr. Diamantas led the agency’s Human Foods Program. In that role he oversaw all FDA nutrition and food safety activities. Welcome back Kyle.

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, and welcome to the MAHA Revolution. I’m Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Action.

There was a fascinating story this week. AOC reached out, in her way, toward the MAHA movement. She said people are getting screwed, and she’s right about that part. She meant screwed by the big corporations, by Big Food, Big Ag, Big Pharma – the companies poisoning the American public, capturing our government agencies, and working every corrupt angle they can find to maximize profits at the expense of your health. She says she’s on the same page as MAHA. She says she believes what we believe and wants to help us fight these forces.

And I want to take that seriously for a moment, because if it were true, it would be wonderful. But here’s the problem. You judge people by what they do, not by what they say. And what AOC does, over and over, is attack the very people actually trying to fix the problems she describes.

Think about it. If she truly believed what she says, she’d be praising the work Bobby Kennedy and Dr. Oz are doing right now – uncovering more fraud, waste, and abuse in our health system than anyone has in a generation; improving school lunches and hospital food; reforming the GRAS system; improving the quality of the food that can be purchased with SNAP benefits; encouraging medical schools to teach nutrition; promoting regenerative farming; and lowering drug prices. She’d be cheering them on. Instead, she attacks them.

If she truly wanted to take on the system that defrauded the American people, she’d stop defending the people who built it and ran it; the Faucis, the officials who presided over the failures that gave us a chronic disease epidemic that is, by the way, eighty-five percent preventable. She attacks Big Pharma with one breath and defends their products with the next. She is not our ally. She is just another double-talking politician, who is preparing to run for president on a platform of lies, slogans and propaganda.

And it’s the same trap the whole modern left is caught in. They say they stand for the American worker, then back policies that undercut American workers. They say they want to fight the big corporations, then side with those corporations when it comes to censoring the people online who dare to criticize them. They don’t believe in a free market place of ideas. They don’t believe in medical freedom – and medical freedom is the single best counterweight we have to the censorship and the propaganda these corporations use to protect themselves. Take away medical freedom, and you’ve handed Big Pharma the whole game. As Martin Luther King said, “All we say to America is be true to what you said on paper.” We have certain inalienable rights and medical freedom is one of them.

And here’s the sharpest contradiction of all. AOC says Bobby Kennedy is ‘dangerous’ because, she claims, he doesn’t care about infectious disease. But look at the actual numbers. Infectious disease, as tragic as every case is, takes a very small number of American lives. Chronic disease is the real killer - the kind of disease that is manufactured by Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Ag. There are something like 1.2 million deaths a year connected to our food system alone. These companies are, in a real sense, poisoning us on purpose, addicting us to things that will kill us. She and her whole corrupt party want you focused on the fear of infectious disease while ignoring the thing that’s actually filling our hospitals. That’s not her insight. That is a Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Ag talking point — the same sort of thing as calling someone an “anti-vaxxer” to shut them up, to discourage research and innovation. That’s the mentality that justifies the status quo and a system engineered to make us and keep us sick for profit.

You want to see the contradiction in one clear example? Take glyphosate. She says she wants to protect the public from it – great! She says corporations should never get a liability shield that protects them at the public’s expense – I agree completely. But then, in the most profitable and insidious industry of all, pharma, she suddenly supports exactly the kind of liability shield she condemns everywhere else. Big Pharma has the most actual criminal convictions and settlements of any group of companies in American history; that’s not a slogan, that’s from court records. So why, in their single, most profitable business, are we suddenly supposed to trust them completely? If you won’t give glyphosate makers a liability shield, you can’t hand one to the vaccine makers or the processed food makers. Either you’re against corporate immunity or you’re not. She wants it both ways.

So what’s really going on here? I think it’s simpler than it looks. This is about the midterms, and it’s about her own ambitions. She recognizes something true, something important – MAHA is reshaping the American electorate. Because there’s only so long you can defraud people, only so long you can make American families and American children sick, before they revolt, before they just won’t stand it anymore. And that revolt is happening right now. When you look at the polling, something like eighty-five to ninety percent of Americans are tired of being fed ultra-processed food, tired of their government supporting big companies, and are done trusting the institutions that failed them. That’s not fringe. That’s the country. AOC sees that popularity, our revolution, and she wants to co-opt it. But it just won’t work.

You cannot lead a revolution you are actively fighting. She consistently chooses partisan politics over people. She has not crossed party lines in a single case to defend American families over these corporations. Not one. She claims to hate the corporations, yet she protects the entrenched interests and the very oligarchs she says she’s fighting. Again, if she believed half of what she says, she’d be thanking Donald Trump for bringing Bobby Kennedy in to take on these industries. Instead, she attacks the only people with the courage to fight.

So let’s judge people by what they do. That’s all I ask. And by that measure, the choice in front of this country could not be clearer in the midterms. We are heading in the right direction and we need to support Secretary Kennedy and the administration so we can get the job done. To paraphrase Henry David Thoreau, AOC is hacking at the branches of evil, but Bobby Kennedy is striking at the root.

On today’s show we will be joined by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Brigham Buhler, Dr. Bethany Hall-Long, Dr. Eric Berg, Mollie Englehart and Russell Brand.

First up we have Peter Navarro. He is one of only three senior White House officials who remained with President Trump from the 2016 presidential campaign to the end of his first term in office.

He is serving as a Senior Counselor to the President for Trade and Manufacturing. Peter is a noted China scholar, a sought-after public speaker, and an award-winning professor emeritus at the University of California-Irvine. He is the author of several books. His latest, Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, is set for release next month and it’s a fantastic book. Welcome Peter.

I want to start today with measles, because if you’ve turned on a television this week, you’d think it was the only health story in America.

Let’s have some perspective. Secretary Kennedy laid out the numbers plainly: Over the last ten years, there have been three measles deaths in this country. Three. In that same span, nearly 12 million Americans died from food-induced chronic disease. That’s 1.2 million per year. And that doesn’t include deaths due to Big Pharma products. Think about that gap. The media and, as the Secretary put it, certain demagogue politicians are constantly working to scare us about infectious disease, while the chronic disease that’s actually killing us, the disease being manufactured by Big Food and Big Pharma, has been getting no attention at all. That’s not an accident. Fear is a tool. And every hour we spend terrified of measles is an hour we’re not looking at what’s really filling our hospitals and our cemeteries.

Now here’s where it gets serious, because we just watched the old Covid playbook get pulled right back off the shelf. In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro rushed to Lancaster County, called a national press conference, and announced two measles deaths. Highly politicized. Finger-pointing, fear-mongering, exactly what we lived through five years ago.

But there’s a problem with the Governor’s story. The local officials say it isn’t true. Joshua Parsons, one of Lancaster County’s own commissioners, accused Shapiro of being deliberately deceptive. By law, contagious-disease deaths have to be reported to that coroner. Yet the county coroner said there were zero measles deaths. Zero. There was one heartbreaking case of an infant who died, and the coroner was clear: that child died with measles present, but not of measles. Neither the coroner nor the pathologist who examined the baby believed measles was the cause of death. And the second death the Governor claimed? Local officials say they’ve been given no information about it at all.

So think about what happened here. A governor stood in front of the nation and used the deaths of children to score political points and stoke fear, and the people who actually keep the records in that county can’t back him up. As Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said, this is exactly why there’s such deep distrust in public health: exploiting tragedy over the airwaves for political purposes. And Bhattacharya made another point that should embarrass everyone who ran with this. Governor Shapiro made a big deal that the children were “unvaccinated.” But babies aren’t even given the measles shot until they’re at least a year old. Of course the baby wasn’t vaccinated. That’s not evidence of anything: It’s a political agenda dressed up as data.

And let me be clear about what MAHA actually stands for here, because they’ll lie about this too. We are not telling anyone what to do. Lancaster County has a large Amish and Mennonite community, many of whom choose not to vaccinate. The resources are there for anyone who wants them. Mobile vaccination clinics are often brought into these communities. But ultimately, the decision to vaccinate still remains with parents in the state of Pennsylvania.

Secretary Kennedy’s job, as he describes it, is to do two things at once: manage actual infectious-disease outbreaks – which we’re doing better than any country in the world – and redirect the nation’s attention and resources back to the chronic disease that is truly killing Americans. That’s the balance. Handle the real risk honestly, and refuse to let anyone weaponize fear.

And President Trump himself weighed in this week, coming to the defense of the Amish and their right to make their own medical decisions. His message was clear, and it was right: leave the Amish alone. Respect their medical freedom. Here’s a community that has quietly lived by its own conscience for centuries, harming no one, and the reflex of the medical cartel is to reach in and force them to comply anyway. That reflex, that need to make everyone fall in line, is the very thing this movement exists to push back against. Nobody should be coerced – not the Amish, not you, not anyone. That’s not anti-vaccine. That’s pro-freedom.

President Trump also pointed to a 2010 study out of the Amish community that screened 1,899 children and identified seven confirmed cases of autism, and not one of those cases was in a completely unvaccinated child. Now, I want to be careful here, because this is exactly where the other side stops being careful. A finding like that doesn’t prove causation. It doesn’t prove anything on its own. But it raises a real question, a question any honest scientist should want to chase down rather than bury. And that’s the whole point, isn’t it? We’re not asking anyone to jump to a conclusion. We’re asking for the one thing they’ve fought us on for decades. Do honest, unbiased research not manipulated by the people who profit from vaccines. Run the study, publish the data, and let the truth be whatever it turns out to be. The people who are afraid of that question are telling you something about themselves.

Now I want to turn to something else that’s harming our kids every single day, in nearly every home in America, and this one crosses every political line there is. Screens.

Yesterday, HHS hosted the Live Real Life Symposium, bringing together leaders from technology, medicine, research, education, and advocacy to face an uncomfortable truth head-on: The devices in our children’s hands are doing real damage to how they grow, learn, and connect. Secretary Kennedy put it about as plainly as it can be put. “Our children get one childhood,” he said, “and we cannot allow screens to replace the real-world experiences they need to grow and thrive.”

One childhood. You don’t get it back. And we are letting an industry that engineered these devices to be as addictive as humanly possible steal that childhood.

And here’s the part I really want you to hear, because it’s the same fight we have with Big Food and Big Pharma, just wearing a different logo. Kennedy put the technology companies on notice, and his line was perfect: “No company should profit from keeping a child compulsively engaged on a screen.”

These platforms aren’t addictive by accident. Just like ultra processed food and opioids, they were designed that way, by some of the smartest engineers in the world, to hijack a child’s attention and hold it, because that attention is what they sell. He gave credit where it’s due, noting that Meta recently announced new protections for children and welcoming it. But he was clear about what comes next, and I’ll quote him:

“Now every technology company should act. End addictive design features for children, give parents real control, make safety the default.”

Dr. Oz brought this down to earth. He talks to Head Start teachers all over the country, and he says they tell him the same story again and again. While the child is with them, they’re making real progress, and then the kid goes home, gets handed a screen because the parents are busy or exhausted or just can’t cope, and starts living their whole life through that screen. Half the kids in America, Dr. Oz says, don’t even have books in their homes. And if you don’t have a book in your home, you don’t learn to read young. Everything gets harder from there. Screens are undermining the most basic building blocks of a childhood: creativity, curiosity, community, movement, sunlight, outdoor activities.

And Dr. Jay Bhattacharya told a personal story. His father smoked a pipe when Jay was a boy, and even as a kid, knowing smoking was bad, he’d hide his dad’s pipe. Fast forward to today, Jay finds himself on vacation with his own kids, holding four phones, looking at one after another instead of looking at his children. And his kids did to him exactly what he’d done to his father: They stole his phones and hid them. The idea that screen time might be harmful is still new, and the science is genuinely complicated and nuanced, but that full-circle moment tells you everything. We recognized one addiction a generation ago. We’re just now recognizing the next one.

Whether it’s what goes into our kids’ food, what goes into their arms, or what goes into their minds through a screen, the question is always the same: Are we protecting our children, or are we protecting the profits of the people harming them? MAHA has picked its side. And more and more, so has this country.

Today’s guests are on the front lines of exactly that fight. You’ll hear from Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, the director of National Health Communications for the Office of the Surgeon General; Dr. Joe Ladapo, the Surgeon General of Florida, Brandon Hoffman, executive director of the MAHA Chiropractic Hub; Tanya Tay Posobiec, MAHA Mom; Dr. Gilles Lamarche, chiropractor and VP of University Advancement at Life University; and congressional candidate Jenny Costa Honeycutt.

But first, we’re joined by Mary Holland. She is the CEO of the incredible non-profit, Children’s Health Defense. A prolific author and a former professor at the NYU School of Law, Mary has been advocating for protecting children’s health for over 2 decades. Welcome back Mary!

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub and welcome to the MAHA revolution. I'm Tony Lyons, President of MAHA Action.

I want to talk today about safety and fear, and about what is actually dangerous and what will actually make us safer. Because, for the last 50 years, the people in charge often got those two things exactly backwards. They weaponized our fear to convince and to coerce us to make terrible decisions about our health and to allow them to make decisions for us.

Henry Miller once said that “one’s destination is never a place but a way of seeing things.” And that’s what we’re trying to do. This is a cultural journey, just as much as it’s a political one.

We’re here to unlock doors that were deliberately locked, to unleash ideas that were censored, to turn back on the things that were shut off. And, understand, none of this happened by accident. It was done on purpose and it was done for profit.

We want to help every American regain their health freedom, not for some theoretical reason, but because we believe in something simple: that you can make better choices for yourself and for your family than the government or big corporations or the media can make for you. That the free market of ideas and full transparency will produce better health outcomes. And, honestly, that’s an easy case to make because we’ve spent three times the money for a generation. We trusted the science, we trusted the experts, and we came up empty-handed, trapped, sick, in every sense of that word.

Now, why do I say this is a cultural fight first? Well, as Andrew Breitbart famously put it, “politics is downstream from culture.” Lasting change doesn’t start with a law. It starts with values, with stories, with what people are willing to believe. And de Tocqueville said the same thing 200 years ago – that the best laws in the world can’t hold up a nation against its own habits and manners, but that good customs, good habits, good ways of doing things, traditions, can survive even the worst laws.

So, if we want to change the system, we have to change the culture first. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Let me remind you how they use fear against us, because we should never forget it. During Covid, the talking heads, the public health officials, even the late night comedians, all chanted the same line. “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” Sounds like 1984. Klaus Schwab said nobody would be safe until everyone was vaccinated. Bill Gates said, and I quote: “You don’t have a choice; normalcy only returns when we largely vaccinate the entire global population.” And Kathy Hochul, the Governor of New York, stood up and claimed to speak for God, telling her audience that God wanted them vaccinated. Think about that. And asking them to become her vaccine apostles.

Even Dolly Parton, even the incredible Dolly Parton, said, “Don’t be such a chicken squat. Get out there and get your shot – because once you’re dead, then that’s a bit too late.”

So, if you were unvaccinated, you were the problem in their eyes. You couldn’t be trusted. You didn’t belong in polite society. Don Lemon even called people who did their own research “idiots.” Sean Penn said being unvaccinated was like pointing a gun in someone’s face. Some said that the unvaccinated should be denied even basic healthcare. And Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “screw your freedom.”

And they coined the phrase, “the pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

And here’s the thing they never want you to remember: It was all a lie. They told you the vaccine would stop the virus dead. Rachel Maddow said the virus stops with every vaccinated person. Fauci said that if the virus gets to you, you stop it. The CEO of Pfizer said that their vaccine was not 99% effective, but 100% effective at preventing Covid. Geraldo Rivera called it bulletproof.

And then every single one of them, of course, caught Covid, many of them more than once. And meanwhile, Fauci himself knew the shot did not prevent infection or transmission.

They shamed you, they fired you, they cut you out of society for refusing to comply with a promise that they knew wasn’t real. And they built a whole campaign around five simple words. “Don’t do your own research.”

The New York Times wrote that doing your own research is linked to conspiracy theories. CNN said that it heard America’s Covid response. Forbes said you must not do your own research when it comes to science. MSNBC said you can’t do your own unless you’re a scientist. Think about how insane that all is.

In what other area of our lives are we told that seeking out information is dangerous? Questioning authority is what free people do. It’s what people who believe in science do.

So, they didn’t have the facts on their side. They were afraid of what we might find out. So they demanded trust and they demanded obedience. And now we know some of what they were hiding. Senator Ron Johnson, who’s been going through all the emails that have come out from Fauci, put it bluntly: They lied through their teeth to the American public. The officials whose entire job was to watch for safety signals weren’t doing their job. And when they did see something, they covered it up. They kept repeating – “no red flags, no safety signals” – while people were being harmed. As Johnson said: people died or were permanently disabled because they were denied the information they needed to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

The head of pharmaceuticals at Bayer even said, and I’m quoting him directly, “If we had surveyed people two years ago, would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body? We would have probably had a 95% refusal rate.” Think about that: 95% wouldn’t have done it. Let that sink in. So if they were told in plain English, they would have said ‘no.’

So, we developed over time a culture of coercion. And that’s what we’re fighting. We don’t need to rebuild trust in this country. We need to re-build to regain our freedom, to rebuild the marketplace of ideas where free speech is possible. And that will lead to better health outcomes.

Here’s why I’m hopeful: accountability is finally coming and the culture is finally turning. Just this week, another name in this story resurfaced. That’s Poul Thorson, the CDC researcher whose early 2000s studies were used for years to tell the whole world that there could not possibly be a link between vaccines and autism. Well, he’s expected to plead guilty on September 1. He was indicted on 22 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and theft for diverting more than a million dollars in grant money meant for autism research into his own pocket. For years, even after his indictment, his work was used to prop up the narrative that all vaccines are safe and effective. Not because there’s real science backing up that statement, but because we’re supposed to trust people who we know, even when we know they committed serious crimes, that they lied to us, that they censored us, they propagandized us, and they stole from us.

And even now the censorship hasn’t stopped. It’s just gotten quieter. This week, the top news apps buried every story about Fauci’s own private concerns over miscarriage risk and the Covid shot. Apple and Google News wouldn’t surface them, but they had no trouble promoting stories attacking President Trump’s executive order on the childhood vaccine schedule.

Same playbook as before. Bury what’s inconvenient and amplify what increases corporate profits.

But it’s starting to fail, and that’s the point. Calley Means said it perfectly: anyone hoping to just go back to normal, to the normal of saluting the institutions that told us to shut up and trust the science – that’s never coming back. That’s never going to happen.

There’s a sledgehammer coming to the old medical system, and the American people are the ones swinging it. And here’s the best part. While the old guard is busy burying stories to boost their profits, this administration is busy building something. Just this week, Secretary Kennedy and Secretary Brooke Rollins rolled out a new plan called Harvest to Hallways, and it goes right to where health actually begins – our kids and the food we put in front of them at school. For years, we’ve made empty promises about serving healthier food in schools, but we’ve ignored the obvious problem. As Secretary Rollins put it, a lot of our school cafeterias don’t even have ovens anymore. So, of course, they can’t cook. They were rebuilt to do nothing but reheat ultra-processed foods shipped in from the big food companies that are poisoning our children. This new plan doesn’t just hand down another meaningless directive. It invests in real kitchens, in scratch cooking, in buying fresh food from local farmers, and in the research to prove that it works. As Secretary Kennedy says, every school meal should make a child healthier. Think about that. More fresh produce. More real protein, less added sugar, and less ultra-processed junk food. And American farmers will be connected directly to the schools in their own communities.

That’s the whole MAHA idea in one program. Healthy culture starts upstream, before chronic disease, before drugs. And there are few better places to start than the school cafeteria. That’s the destination, not a place – a new way of seeing the world. Real safety built on truth and transparency and your right to choose for yourself. That’s what MAHA is fighting for. And that’s a fight that we are going to win.

On this week’s show, we have some incredible guests who are really on the front lines of trying to change the culture – helping people in this country do their own research into what will make them healthier, and bringing real food into our classrooms and our kitchens and hospitals – and working at every level to make America healthier.

Today we’ll be joined by Jack Posobiec, Steve Kirsch, Chef Geoffrey Zakarian, Dr. Bob Sears, Mary Holland, Dr Eric Berg, Russell Brand, and Anthony Constantino.

For the last fifty years, we had Dr. Anthony Fauci — a man who, and there’s no gentler way to say it, essentially failed his way to the top. Think about it. Everything he was put in charge of, from allergies on down, actually got worse on his watch. But here’s what I want you to understand: it was never just about Fauci. Fauci is the poster child. He is not the system.

And the system is what we’re really up against. It’s a machine that was built, piece by piece, to help big corporations — Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Food — maximize their profits. Fauci was the face of it, but the machine itself is still standing. It’s still humming along. And it is very, very hard to dismantle, because it was designed to protect the people who built it.

So let’s start where MAHA starts, with one simple, powerful fact. Eighty-five percent of chronic disease is preventable. Eighty-five percent. And I want you to really hear what that means, because it’s an interesting way to put it. It’s preventable because, for the most part, we don’t need to do anything heroic to prevent it. We just need to stop. We need to stop intentionally poisoning the American public. We need to stop paying scientists to study how to addict people to toxic foods that cause chronic disease. To engineer drugs that create chronic disease. To spray pesticides that cause chronic disease. The disease isn’t some mystery we haven’t cracked yet. Much of it is being manufactured, on purpose, for profit.

And once you see that, you can finally answer the question that should haunt every single one of us. How is it possible that America spends three times the money … three times . . . and gets the worst health outcomes of any of the thirty industrialized nations? Study after study, at or near the bottom.

How? The answer is simple. There’s an unpaid tax buried in that number. Call it the corruption tax. We are pouring more money into healthcare than any nation on Earth, and we are not getting what we pay for. That difference, the gap between what a healthy, honest system would cost and what we’re actually paying, that money doesn’t vanish. It flows straight to the large, corrupt corporations that have studied how to poison us, how to addict us, how to make us fat, how to make us sick, and then, once we’re sick, how to keep us sick. Not cure us. Because a cured patient stops paying, and a sick one pays forever. That is the corruption tax. And every American family has been paying it for decades, in dollars and in suffering.

Now, how did they get away with it for so long? Culture. For fifty years the message was: trust the experts. Trust the experts on your food, on your medicine, on your children. But those experts, in government agencies in corporate America, on college campuses across the country, came to see their job as protecting the corporations they were essentially working for. The EPA didn’t do its job. The USDA didn’t do its job. HHS didn’t do its job. And the science — the very thing that’s supposed to guide us to better and better outcomes — got captured too. Because here’s the hard truth: the reason all this scientific “progress” hasn’t given us longer, healthier lives is that a lot of it isn’t real science. It’s science in the private interest instead of the public interest. It’s funded by the corporations, orchestrated for the corporations, to reach the conclusions the corporations need. And you cannot build real science on a foundation of fake, corporate science.

Corruption is the enemy of innovation, of the marketplace of ideas, of improved health outcomes. Real capitalism, real competition, real innovation comes from people and companies that succeed by producing improved health outcomes.

That’s why this is a genuine battle, an existential one, and I don’t use that word lightly. This is a fight for the future of our children, which is to say the future of mankind. And it’s exactly why dismantling this system is so hard. We need new science, real science, built from the ground up.

So here’s what I want you to remember: When you hear people say Bobby Kennedy isn’t achieving enough, or that he’s doing too much, or that he isn’t doing it right, or that he’s not a real scientist, or you read one more hit piece calling him “dangerous,” ask yourself who’s actually talking? Because that is the system fighting back. Those are the corporations. Those are the people from the captured agencies, the ones defending their prior actions or their profit margins, terrified by what happens when the truth comes out. That’s not honest criticism. That’s the machine protecting itself.

But here’s the good news, and it’s the whole reason we can have this conversation with our heads held high. For the first time in fifty years, we have people in positions of real power who actually want to solve the problem. That is the first step. That is everything. Because a government’s job is to protect people, or at least get out of the way, and clearly not to protect companies. And that is finally, finally starting to happen.

Many of our guests today are on the frontlines, dismantling the corruption, producing real science in the interest of the American people. They are leaders in public health, advocates, and incredible allies in the MAHA movement. You’ll hear from Dr. Mehmet Oz, Calley Means, Riley Gaines, Zach Lahn, Russell Brand, Dr. Eric Berg and Jax Bari, the MAHA kid.

But first, we’re joined by Admiral Brian Christine. He is the Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS. He also leads the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. He is focused on public health priorities, including chronic disease prevention and improving the overall health of Americans. Welcome Admiral Christine.

I want to talk today about the two things that go into your children more than almost anything else — the food on their plates and the shots in their arms. And this week, for the first time in a very long time, we saw real progress on both. Real transparency. Real accountability. The kind of change MAHA has been fighting so hard for.

Let’s start with food. And let me tell you about something most Americans have never heard of, even though it’s been shaping what’s in their pantry for more than 65 years. It’s called the GRAS loophole. G-R-A-S. It stands for “Generally Recognized as Safe.”

Here’s how it works or at least how it’s supposed to work – and I promise you, when you hear this you’re going to be angry. Back in 1958, Congress passed an exemption. The idea was simple: you shouldn’t have to run salt, or vinegar, or flour through years of drug-style testing. Everybody knows they’re safe. Fine. That’s common sense. But watch what happened to that common-sense idea.

Over the decades — and especially after a procedural change in 1997 — that narrow little exemption got twisted into something monstrous. Today, a food company can invent a brand-new chemical, hire its own experts to declare it safe, put it straight into the food your kids eat for breakfast — and never tell the FDA a thing. Not one word. The government doesn’t review it. The government doesn’t even know it exists.

Think about what that means. The companies get to be their own judge, their own jury, and their own referee on whether the chemicals they profit from are safe for your family. That is the very definition of a conflict of interest. And the result is exactly what you’d expect: thousands of chemicals have been added into the American food supply with no independent research at all, and the FDA finds out there’s a problem after people start getting sick. But even then it’s hard to prove because the whole process is corrupt and the government agencies have a history of being captured.

We’ve been running a nationwide science experiment on our own children and the results are now in, and they are not good. We have the sickest children on earth.

But that is finally starting to change. This week the FDA proposed a new rule to close that loophole, the GRAS loophole. For the first time, companies would be required to notify the FDA whenever they decide a new ingredient is “safe.” The agency would build a public inventory so you and I can actually see what’s being put in our food. And there’d be a pathway to go back and review the substances already on the market. Transparency. The most basic thing a government owes its people in a democracy.

And it doesn’t stop there. HHS and USDA just submitted the federal government’s first-ever official definition of “ultra-processed foods.” Now, that might sound like a technicality, but it’s a big deal — because for years, the lack of a real definition has been used as an excuse to avoid studying this stuff seriously.

Secretary Kennedy has pointed out that ultra-processed foods now make up close to seventy percent of the American diet. Seventy percent. And more than one in five of our children is now obese. Those two facts don’t exist independently. You can’t fix a problem you refuse to even define — and now, finally, we’re defining it.

Now, let’s talk about the other thing going into our kids — vaccines. This week the president signed an executive order that does something MAHA has demanded for years: it puts parents back in the driver’s seat, and it puts real science back at the center of the conversation.

Here’s what it does. It establishes a new gold-standard set of childhood vaccine recommendations, cutting the list of routinely recommended core vaccinations down to eleven diseases — Secretary Kennedy notes the earlier HHS and CDC overhaul brought it from seventeen down to eleven. It removes hepatitis B, Covid -19, and influenza from the list of shots routinely recommended for all children. It recommends separating the measles, mumps, and rubella shot into three separate vaccines given at separate visits.

But now we have the option to space out vaccines across multiple visits. The president’s own example was roughly five visits in the first year of life, with a child getting about twenty percent of the old single-visit load each time.

And it’s built around one principle above all: parental choice. Parents who want their children to receive every vaccine on the old schedule can absolutely still do that, fully covered by insurance. Nothing is being taken away. But it protects religious and medical exemption rights, and it directs the Attorney General to pursue legal action against states that violate those exemptions. It encourages states — and note, twenty-eight of them have already diverged from the CDC since January — to write these recommendations into their school-enrollment laws, pointing to European countries that are able to keep measles vaccination rates high without heavy-handed school mandates. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry is crying foul, calling the recommendations “dangerous,” “so wrong” – and saying it is “putting children’s health at risk.” The only thing in danger here is their profits.

And here’s the part I love most. The order directs continued, serious research — into vaccine safety, and into the real causes of autism — through the NIH’s Autism Data Science Initiative, ARPA-H, the National Toxicology Program, and the reinstated Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, with a full response required within ninety days. Because that’s the whole point, isn’t it? For years, anyone who asked a hard question about the childhood schedule got shouted down with those three little words: “the science is settled.” But the science is never settled. It never has been and never will be. Real science welcomes questions. Real science says, ‘If you’re so sure, then study it in the open and prove it.’

The only people afraid of honest research are the people who don’t like where it might lead. This executive order gives Americans direct access to HHS’s own scientific assessment — going around the court rulings that had been holding all of this up.

Public trust gets rebuilt through transparency. Through honesty. Through dismantling the captured public health establishment that spent a generation destroying that trust, and betting we’d never find out.

Consider Dr. Anthony Fauci. Last week, Dr. Fauci was held in contempt of Congress, and the matter was referred to the Department of Justice. In recent investigations, buried in more than thirty-four thousand text messages, Fauci himself acknowledged that a covid vaccine dose in the first trimester “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage.”

And it gets worse. Investigations also found that one of the creators of mRNA vaccines wrote to Fauci to warn him that in pregnant animals, these particles were crossing the placenta and reaching the developing fetus. Now, what does an honest public servant do with a warning like that? He studies it. He tells the public. He lets mothers weigh the risk for themselves and make informed decisions.

But that is not what happened. Fauci’s first concern was not the finding — it was that the scientist wanted to hold a press conference, and what a mess that would make. He protected himself and ignored risks to a mother and her unborn child. He saw it as a PR problem to be managed. That is the old way. And that is precisely what this movement is bringing to an end.

That’s what connects food and vaccines. It’s the same fight, the same principle. Transparency over secrecy. Informed consent over blind faith. Parents over corporations. Real science over marketing slogans. For a generation, powerful interests got to decide what went into our children’s bodies without ever having to show their work. That era is ending. And today we are celebrating that.

On today’s show, you’ll hear from Dr. Eric Berg, “The Knowledge Doc”; human biologist, Gary Brecka; health coach and author of The Truth About Seed Oils, Liana Werner-Gray; Russell Brand, comedian and author; Jeffrey Tucker, founder and President of the Brownstone Institute; molecular toxicologist and activist. Dr. Alexandra Muñoz; Marla Maples, co-founder of The Global Wellness Forum and The Marla Maples Foundation; and Austin Rogers, candidate for Congress in Florida.

First up we have a leader and a legend in traditional food, Sally Fallon. She is an author, nutrition educator, and the founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) and the founder of Campaign for Real Milk. She is the owner of a farm which produces raw cheese and raw milk from pastured cows, pastured meats and grass-fed poultry and eggs. She most recently wrote The Truth About Contagion. Her best selling book, Nourishing Traditions, blends scientific research, culinary expertise, and advocacy to promote diets rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods. A generation of children can thank her for their good health! Welcome Sally!

For a generation now, Americans have been told the same two words about every single vaccine: safe and effective. Safe and effective. Say it enough times and it stops sounding like a claim and starts sounding like a fact. And we’ve been told something else too — that it’s perfectly reasonable for the companies making these products to have absolute liability protection. If one of their products injures your child, you have nowhere to turn, no recourse and no one to hold accountable.

We in the MAHA movement know that isn’t right. No product should be granted liability protection by our government. A vaccine is just a product. Like any other product, it has to be tested, and retested, and retested again. And when a product harms somebody, the people it harms deserve recourse. That’s not radical. That’s not anti-anything. That is the most basic principle of a fair and honest society. Vaccines were described as “unavoidably unsafe” in Congressional hearings, and later in arguments before the Supreme Court. Those are their words, not mine. And for the first time in my lifetime, we finally have a president and an HHS Secretary willing to take that seriously — willing to do the hard research, ask the questions nobody in power would ask before, and follow the evidence wherever it leads. Because only when we have honest science can we give Americans what they’ve been denied for decades: true informed consent, and safer vaccination practices built on real data instead of marketing slogans.

As all of you know, Dr. Anthony Fauci used to say that he represented science. He actually said that — “I am the science.”

But I’ll tell you who really represents science. It’s Dr. Rand Paul. Senator and Dr. Rand Paul represents science, because he’s curious. Because he questions authority. Because he understands that science is never settled, and that the moment you declare it settled, you’ve stopped doing science altogether. He’s willing to follow the evidence wherever it takes him — and that is exactly what a real scientist does. It’s what a real doctor does. And it’s what we should demand from every single official who claims to serve the public.

This week, Senator Paul showed us what real science and real leadership look like — that dogged, bulldog determination to get to the truth and to let the American people hear it. He released more than a thousand pages of Anthony Fauci’s own diaries. And even though the corruption of the past — a preemptive pardon handed out on Biden’s way out the door — may keep Dr. Fauci from being prosecuted for things I believe are crimes against humanity, the truth is finally coming out. In his own words. And once the American people can see the truth, there’s no putting it back in the box.

And here’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about. The president has asked Secretary Kennedy to take a serious, honest look at the possible link between vaccines and autism. A straightforward thing — study it, follow the data. And the reaction from the media was immediate. Dana Bash went on the air and said, in effect, that this has already been studied, the matter is closed, the science is settled. And there it is again. That phrase. “The science is settled.”

Let me say this as plainly as I know how. The science is never settled. It wasn’t settled on thalidomide. It wasn’t settled on opioids. It wasn’t settled on a hundred things the experts once swore were safe. The single most anti-scientific sentence in the English language is “the science is settled,” because the entire history of science is the story of settled ideas being overturned by people brave enough to question the status quo. Parents have been reporting what they’ve seen with their own children for years, and they deserve to have their concerns taken seriously — not waved away by a cable news anchor. If the answer is really so obvious, then a rigorous, transparent study will simply confirm it, and no honest scientist should ever be afraid of that. The only people afraid of the research are the people who don’t like where it might lead.

Trust has been breached and broken between big pharma companies, the government, and the American people. We were lied to and propagandized at scale. Those brave enough to question, those who stood up and refused to obey – refused to be told what to do, what to think, what to read or what to put into their bodies – were vilified, shunned, ostracized, censored, deplatformed. They lost their jobs, their licenses, and their reputations. They were accused of disseminating misinformation, being anti-vaxxers or conspiracy theorists. And millions of people suffered some level of vaccine injury. Dr. Fauci controlled the COVID countermeasures and gloated publicly and in his diary about his power.

After dark historical moments like this, people need truth and reconciliation, and they also need compensation. Investigating Fauci, holding him in contempt for refusing to answer reasonable questions, and eventually prosecuting him for crimes against humanity, will help rebuild trust. Compensating people who lost their livelihoods or suffered vaccine injury will also go a long way toward rebuilding that trust. In Japan, 87% of the vaccine injured receive compensation. In Thailand, 82% are compensated. Even in Canada, 22% are compensated. In the United States, fewer than 1% receive any compensation. That doesn’t inspire confidence or encourage trust.

That’s what today’s Media Hub is about. We’ll be joined by doctors, lawyers, scientists, journalists, activists, and legislators — people who have been at the forefront of exposing the potential harms of vaccines and fighting for informed consent and medical freedom, often at enormous personal cost.

You’ll hear from Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network. Mary Holland, J.D., CEO of Children’s Health Defense. Stefanie Spear, Principal Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to Secretary Kennedy. Mark Gorton, President of the MAHA Institute. Dr. Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer at Children’s Health Defense. Physician and author Dr. Jeff Barke. Pediatrician and author Dr. Liz Mumper. Epidemiologist Nic Hulscher. And Senator and Dr. Rand Paul of Kentucky, the man who led the charge this week and who has been relentless in pursuing the truth about Anthony Fauci, gain-of-function research, and holding the powerful accountable under oath.

But first, we’re joined by Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona. He isn’t just talking about these ideas — he’s building them into the agenda of his campaign for Governor of Arizona. His plans to Make Arizona Healthy Again include: ending medical mandates and protecting vaccine freedom, making sure parents actually get the information they need about immunization exemptions so they can choose what’s right for their own child, banning dangerous gain-of-function research in his state, getting soda and junk food out of SNAP purchases, bringing nutrition education into medical schools, and standing up a Make Arizona Healthy Again advisory council to carry it all forward. This is exactly what it looks like when the movement moves from ideas into government policy and law. Congressman Biggs, welcome to the MAHA Media Hub.

During the July 22 MAHA Media Hub, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, announced that Anthony Fauci will face questioning by his committee, at 8:30 a.m. on July 29.

Once called ‘America’s Doctor,’ Fauci will be questioned about his role in funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV); on the origin of the Covid virus; and about his attempts to influence the U.S. intelligence community in determining Covid’s origins.

Sen. Paul invited the MAHA community and the public at large to visit his online Reading Room, which contains a trove of recently released Slack communications between government contracted scientists – Kristian G. Andersen, Andrew Rambaut, Robert F. Garry, and others – who authored the now infamous The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 in Nature Medicine.

Also included in the documents posted by Sen. Paul is information on a remarkable incident when U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) National Targeting Center intended to search and question Peter Daszak, then director of EcoHealth Alliance: In February of 2021, as Daszak attempted to re-enter the United States after completing a ‘fact finding mission’ to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO), the FBI directed CBP to not stop Daszak.

Even though Daszak was believed to have been transporting dangerous biological material from China, the FBI, under the Biden administration, allowed him to enter the U.S., unimpeded.

It is now considered likely that gain-of-function virology experiments – many of which were funded by the National Institutes of Health at Fauci’s direction – are responsible for the Covid pandemic.

Over one million Americans died due to Covid – as did millions more around the globe. The pandemic, and the ham-fisted response of public health authorities, caused incalculable economic damage and negatively impacted the education of an entire generation.

Many aspects of the public health community’s response to Covid are now viewed as unconstitutional.

The pandemic is one of the great tragedies of the new century. That it may have been caused by a group of individuals who engaged in dangerous experiments, that President Barack Obama placed a moratorium on in 2014, makes the tragedy all the more disturbing.

Below are Sen. Paul’s full remarks during the MAHA Media Hub, delivered on July 22.

Senator Rand Paul: Thanks, Tony. Thanks, everybody, for having me.

For years, Americans were told that the Covid lab leak theory was dismissed by the science itself. They say it was settled by this paper, the Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2, way back in March of 2020.

This paper was cited by everybody. Everybody said that this proved that it had to have come from nature. But, you know, my investigation has now shown that the people who peddled that certainty never even believed it themselves. This was extraordinary. Starting with the authors of that paper, newly released Slack messages show that Kristian Andersen, a scientist who got an $8 million grant from Anthony Fauci, was privately saying that the odds of a lab origin were at 30%. This is meanwhile, while he’s written this paper, Proximal Origin, saying there was no chance that it came from the lab. He’s privately discussing with others that he’s still like, Oh, you know I think it’s a 30% chance.

Eddie Holmes is another author. He said I’m at 20, maybe 10 [%] … but there’s still a chance this came from the lab – but he’s publicly saying “no way.”

Kristian Andersen told colleagues that the ‘smoking gun’ – it left him not comfortable with his own conclusions that he was seeing this smoke, seeing this as a smoking gun.These scientists were publicly ruling out a lab leak, but behind closed doors they were manipulating the narrative, hoping to stop the evidence building against their public assertions.

The same authors were in direct contact with our intelligence community and NIH leadership, Anthony Fauci, throughout the pandemic.

Kristian Andersen expected to have a handler from within the intel community. Eddie Holmes cited a source in China he called ‘My Spy.” After the DARPA DEFUSE proposal leaked, where they were going to create a virus very similar to what Covid was, this plan was to insert what they called a furin cleavage site into a bat coronavirus. The group discussed staying off email. “We need to curate our response, our correspondence.”

By curate, they mean destroy, delete, get rid of. They didn’t want to be discovered by Freedom of Information records. Eddie Holmes promised to chat with the intelligence folks. The authors even said they needed to get something back to Tony’s team at NIH.

Remember, this is about the time that David Morens, Tony’s assistant, was saying, ‘if you need to contact Tony, you can write it by hand or tell me verbally and I can take him messages at his house.’ It was all this secrecy, all this manipulation. What were they hiding? It wasn’t a coincidence.

I have released records now showing that Dr. Fauci’s ties to the national security apparatus.They go back to 2003. Bobby Kennedy reported this in his book as well. And Fauci wasn’t the only scientist with government relations. Records I’ve obtained now show that the CIA and the director of national intelligence reached out to Dr. Ralph Baric – you know, the scientist who’s doing these experiments in Wuhan with Dr. Shi [Zhengli], they reached out to him years before the pandemic, way back in 2015. They were discussing coronavirus evolution and natural human adaptation, gain of function, the experiments that made this more contagious.

In January of 2020, Baric briefed the Department of National Intelligence’s Classified Biological Sciences Expert Group. And he raised the possibility of a lab origin, weeks before that theory was then publicly ridiculed. So on the one hand, he’s privately briefing the intel people saying, “Yes, it looks like it could have come from the lab,” while he’s publicly part of a whole cover-up process of ridiculing this.

So, I’ve now asked Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz to determine whether Daszak or Baric were ever used or compensated as FBI confidential informants, a question that the public deserves to be answered.

The irony of this, think of it: there’s Peter Daszak himself, the head of EcoHealth Alliance, the guy with the bag money. He was bringing the money to China, paying for this research. Documents show that he was coming back across the border from China, and the Customs and Border Patrol flagged him as an extremely high person of interest before his return. They were determined to stop him. They were citing over 15 years of his collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and his role in funneling NIH money towards gain-of-function research in China. The Border Patrol built a formal action to search him. But three days before he landed, the FBI told them to stand down.

This was Biden’s FBI. This was [former FBI director] Christopher Wray. He said, stand down, don’t search him. He walked through JFK Airport untouched.

On July 29, next week at 8:30 [a.m.], Anthony Fauci will testify under oath before my committee under subpoena. The hearing matters, but it will only cover one piece of what’s laid out here. Americans don’t need to wait for a hearing to see it for themselves. You can read all of this and more at my new website, The Reading Room, at paul.senate.gov/readingroom. I won’t stop until the full truth is out there.

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, and welcome to the MAHA Revolution. I’m Tony Lyons, President of MAHA Action.

I want to start today by talking about the man at the center of all this, because you’re going to read a hit piece about him tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. It’s been going on for nineteen years now. And I want you to think about who’s writing them and why.

Bobby Kennedy is the first HHS Secretary to come to Washington with a real vision — and it wasn’t a vision built on wanting more power, more control, more money, or more fame. It was built on one thing: ending the chronic disease epidemic in this country. And here’s what people forget — eighty percent of chronic disease is preventable. Eighty percent.

We can do better than this. We can protect our children. We have to protect our children. Never in our history has the head of HHS had that kind of vision — the kind that put him up against some of the most powerful companies on Earth. Trillion-dollar companies. And those companies never knew what to do with him. They couldn’t buy him. They couldn’t scare him. And that makes him dangerous.

What Bobby brought with him was honesty, integrity, and moral courage — the courage of his convictions. And I want you to understand something: if you’re in the business of poisoning the American public, those are the most dangerous traits in the world. They’re dangerous to your profit margins. They’re dangerous to your future profits. So they did the only thing they had left. They tried to discredit him, vilify him, write hit pieces, organize the smear campaigns. And here’s the thing — he is dangerous, but not to you, or to your family, or to any American who just wants their kids to grow up healthy. To all of us he’s the best thing that’s happened to public health in a generation.

Think about what they actually did to this man. They sued him in state after state to keep him off the ballot. They worked to keep him off the debate stage. They tried to destroy his reputation, hurt his family, and lie about his record. They even refused him Secret Service protection. They did literally everything they could to keep him from the kind of power the American people ultimately handed him. And why did the people hand it to him anyway? Because during Covid, millions of Americans learned something they can’t unlearn — that blind faith in authority isn’t science, it’s the road to something much darker. They watched the government and these big corporations shame and punish dissent instead of debating it. They watch the government deplatform people. De-license doctors. Defund, doxx, and gaslight anybody who asked a hard question. But as George Orwell said: in a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

And that truth is exactly what led millions of Americans to back Bobby Kennedy and to vote for President Trump — because Trump was brave enough to finally give Bobby the chance to fight back against the corruption that has poisoned all of us, especially our children.

I’ve published about fifteen of Bobby’s books. I watched him work sixteen hours a day, hunting down researchers and fact-checkers all over the world to make sure every single line was unimpeachable. And you know what? In all those years, with all that money lined up against him, nobody ever sued us. Nobody ever stood up and said, “he got it wrong on page 128.”

The Real Anthony Fauci was the most censored book I’ve seen in a career of publishing thousands of books. Not because it was wrong. Because it was true, and the truth was inconvenient to some very powerful people.

Back in February, The New York Times ran a piece with the line that every hundred years produces an RFK Jr. They wrote that diseases don’t care what you eat or how you live — that the Faucis of the world did a wonderful job protecting us, and now Bobby’s come along to ruin this supposed golden age. But look at the actual numbers. We have the tools, the money, the doctors, and the science to be the healthiest country on Earth. Instead we spend three times what other nations spend and get the worst outcomes of any of the thirty industrialized countries — study after study shows us, at or near the bottom. That’s the “great job” they’re so proud of. That’s the status quo they’re fighting to protect. Well, I say these people have had their chance and now it’s our time.

I’ll say one more thing, and this one’s to our own side. There are good people in this movement — activists who’ve fought this fight for twenty, thirty years — who feel like Bobby was supposed to be Superman. Come to Washington and fix everything in a day. And I understand the impatience. I feel it too. But no reasonable person could think that hundred-billion, five-hundred-billion-dollar companies would just cave overnight – that corrupt, deep state actors would pack up and go home.

Nobody on this planet could undo a generation of corruption in a day. And here’s what I want you to see clearly: that impatience is being used. This is a strategy. The same lobbyists, companies, government officials and writers who’ve presided over the poisoning of the American public have figured out how to co-opt well-meaning people inside our own movement — to turn good activists into unwitting foot soldiers for the very interests they claim to hate. And if that strategy works, you know exactly where it ends: with HHS handed right back to the Big Pharma and Big Food companies that ran it as a captured agency for the last generation.

So let’s be patient with each other. Let’s look honestly at the progress and at the alternative. This was never going to be easy or fast — but we are getting there. And week after week, this administration is delivering real change, real MAHA wins that will make Americans healthier for generations.

For decades, Washington measured success by how much money it spent treating sick people, and a lot of powerful interests got rich off that arrangement. We measure success differently. By whether we keep people from getting sick in the first place. By whether the agencies your taxes pay for are working for you, or for somebody else. That’s a profound shift – and, week after week, the proof keeps piling up.

Today’s incredible lineup will include Senator Rand Paul; ;Miriam Eckenfels, Director of the EMR and Wireless Program at Children’s Health Defense; Amelia Gilardi, a cell tower injured victim and youth educator; biological dentists Dr. Shawn and Dr. Ben Javid; Dr. Lona Cook, chiropractor and co-founder of Well Adjusted Students Inc.; Lily Tang Williams, the Republican candidate for Congress for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District; and Dr. Eric Berg, “The Knowledge Doc.”

First up, we have Dr. Daniel Pompa. He’s the founder of the Pompa Program and the author of multiple books. He became a leading cellular health expert by going through his own health journey — and he’s now teaching practitioners worldwide about advanced detoxification strategies and helping thousands of Americans get their health back. Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, Dr. Pompa.

[Tony Lyons delivered the below opening remarks during the July 15 MAHA Media Hub. You may follow him on Instagram, here.]

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, and welcome to the MAHA Revolution. I’m Tony Lyons, President of MAHA Action.

I’d like to start with a simple question: Why are children in America less healthy than children in nearly every other industrialized nation?

For more than 20 years, Bobby Kennedy has been asking that question and fighting to do something about it. Today, as Secretary of Health and Human Services, he’s finally in a position to act. Nothing could be more important than restoring the health of America’s children.

For decades, powerful industries—Big Food and Big Pharma—helped create a system that profits from chronic disease instead of preventing it. And now that we’re challenging that system, they’re fighting back. Their narrative is that Bobby Kennedy is dangerous. We know that he is a danger to their business model. That’s a good thing.

Last week we spent our time answering the media’s attacks on this movement. Today, I’d rather talk about something that matters a whole lot more: results.

While some in the press are working overtime to turn good news into a scandal, MAHA and the Trump administration just keep delivering. We didn’t become the sickest industrialized nation on earth overnight, and we won’t undo decades of bad policy overnight either. But for the first time in a generation, we’re going after the root causes of chronic disease instead of just suppressing the symptoms. The philosophy has shifted—from waiting for people to get sick and managing disease with lifelong pharmaceutical interventions to asking why they’re getting sick in the first place. That’s no longer just an idea. It’s federal policy.

And let’s be honest about why this change has been so difficult. For years, the system wasn’t broken by accident—it was working exactly as powerful interests intended. When the agencies meant to regulate industry become too closely tied to the industries they’re overseeing, reform becomes incredibly difficult. Breaking those conflicts of interest is essential if we’re ever going to build a healthcare system that puts Americans’ health ahead of corporate profits.

Just look at this week alone.

HHS and the VA are expanding research into psychedelic therapies for veterans with PTSD, depression, and addiction — running the trials, gathering the evidence, following the science wherever it leads, rather than dismissing promising treatments because they challenge old assumptions.

HHS, USDA, and EPA are working together to pull heavy metals and toxins out of our food. For far too long, these agencies approached the problem separately. Now they’re sharing data, modernizing testing, coordinating enforcement, and working together to reduce Americans’ exposure to toxins before they ever reach our dinner tables.

Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Oz launched the Make Hospital Food Healthier initiative because hospitals should help people recover—not serve the very foods that contribute to chronic disease. And at NIH, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is bringing greater transparency to research funding while prioritizing chronic disease and encouraging new scientific ideas.

There’s more.

Every state has now joined A Home for Every Child, a national foster care initiative launched by the Administration for Children and Families alongside First Lady Melania Trump to help more children find safe, loving homes.

Dr. Oz has been crossing the country exposing Medicare fraud, showing people exactly where billions of their dollars went. And every one of those dollars is a dollar stolen from a patient, from a family, from somebody who paid into that system in good faith and deserved better. Getting it back isn’t just good bookkeeping, It’s not just good for keeping CMS solvent — it’s justice.

And accountability is coming for the people at the top, too. Later this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci is expected to testify before Congress — because wherever you stood during the pandemic, the American people deserve accountability. Fauci failed his way to the top and was the subject of Bobby Kennedy’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, that transformed the way millions of people think about our government and health.

Secretary Kennedy proposed rule changes to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, a federally-funded program designed to compensate Americans who have suffered adverse reactions to Covid vaccines or other Covid virus countermeasures. Those silenced victims are finally being recognized, and compensation is finally part of the conversation. That’s how you rebuild trust — not with a press release, but by listening to the people you harmed and making it right.

Taken together, these aren’t isolated announcements. They’re evidence that the MAHA agenda is moving from ideas into action.

Put it all together and here’s the thing: these aren’t scattered announcements. This is the MAHA agenda going from ideas into action.

For decades, Washington measured success by how much it spent treating sick people and how many people had access to care — and a whole lot of powerful interests got rich off that arrangement. We measure it differently. We measure it by whether we keep people from getting sick in the first place. By whether a farmer can make a living growing real food instead of commodity poison. By whether a parent can trust what’s on a label. By whether the agencies your taxes pay for are working for you, or for somebody who’s making your children sick. That’s a profound shift — and week after week, regardless of what the captured New York Times says, the proof keeps piling up.

It won’t happen overnight, and you’d better believe the folks who profited from the old way are going to fight like hell to keep it. But we’re not backing down. Because this was never about politics. It was always about whether ordinary Americans — your family, your kids, your neighbors — finally get a system that’s honest with them and actually on their side.

Today’s guests are helping lead that transformation.

Joining us today are Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Senator Ron Johnson; Charles DuBois, President and CEO of Standard Process; Margaret Hampton, President of ABC Codes; Dr. Eric Berg; and authors Liana Werner-Grey, Marisa Zeppieri and Dana Parish.

In an appearance on the MAHA Media Hub last week, Dr. Berg, author of the forthcoming book Change Your Environments: Redesign Your Life to Reclaim Your Health, outlined three myths about vaping, which has become popular among teenagers and young adults in recent years.

The first misconception, he said, is that vaping relaxes you.

“This is a myth, because nicotine is a stimulant,” he said. “It speeds things up. It increases pulse rate, it increases blood pressure.”

Over time, nicotine raises your level of stress, he said, and after about three weeks of vaping, causes both higher blood pressure and higher cortisol. Vaping can give some temporary relief from high cortisol, and this is what causes people to feel somewhat relaxed.

“You think, ‘Oh, this is relaxing me.’ But it’s actually bringing down the cortisol that the vaping has created,” said Berg.

Dr. Eric Berg has become hugely popular online with his YouTube views in which he explains, in the clearest terms, what could be causing various ailments, and how to improve your health by changing your lifestyle. Many of his videos focus on the ketogenic diet – eating mostly protein and vegetables – and also intermittent fasting.

His most popular YouTube video, “What Happens If You Stop Eating Sugar for 14 Days,” has been watched 19 million times.

He has almost 15 million subscribers on YouTube and a total of 45 million followers across all social media platforms.

Dr. Berg’s book, Change Your Environments: Redesign Your Life to Reclaim Your Health, is due out September 8 from MAHA Books, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing.

The issue of vaping, Berg said last week, is directly tied to the issue of changing your health by changing your environment, as one of the biggest changes you can make to your environment is to remove the toxins.

One vape unit is equal to the same amount of exposure as 400 cigarettes, Dr. Berg said.

“It’s just incredible how much you’re getting in your body as far as these puffs. An average person who is like a heavy vaper will get about 70,000 puffs per year. This is insane.”

The second myth about vaping, Berg said, is that it makes a person happy.

“It doesn’t make you happy,” Berg told the Media Hub audience. He went on to explain that nicotine mimics other chemicals in the body including acetylcholine and dopamine, known as the feel-good chemical, and causes the brain to release less dopamine, which flattens the mood. When a person vapes, they get a pick-me-up.

“So you get this temporary boost in mood making you think, ‘Wow, vaping is making me happier.’ It’s not. It’s just bringing you up above the flat line that this problem created.”

The third myth, Berg says, is that vaping is just like water as a person who is vaping is inhaling a vapor – a liquid that’s been heated up inside the vape pen.

“These are tiny little liquid droplets small enough to carry nicotine, solvents, flavoring chemicals – which were never designed to be inhaled – deep into your lungs,” said Berg. “So you have something that is, like, very very new to our bodies that we’ve never done before.”

One of those solvents is formaldehyde, used most commonly to embalm bodies after death. And when a person vapes, they’re also inhaling acetyl aldehyde and some heavy metals like nickel and chromium from the heating coil inside the pen.

“It is true that vaping is less dangerous than smoking,” said Berg, “but it’s not safe, especially for teenagers.”

Another aspect of vaping is that the companies that make the vape pens and the liquid cartridges that go in them have worked to create these toxic solvents in a way so that they don’t cause coughing, Berg explained, allowing a person to inhale a lot more without taking a break.

“So you end up getting a lot of extra things in your body without any kind of resistance,” he said.

Berg urged parents to talk with their teenagers and, if they vape, to try to get them to re-evaluate if it’s something they really want to continue, warning that it’s going to affect their health in the long run.

Change Your Environments: Redesign Your Life to Reclaim Your Health, by Dr. Eric Berg, is due out September 8, 2026 from MAHA Books, and is available now on Amazon for pre-order.

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, and welcome to the MAHA Revolution. I’m Tony Lyons, President of MAHA Action.

You want to know how you can tell a movement is winning? Look at who starts attacking it, and how hard. Last week The New York Times ran a piece going after the movement, entitled “Has the MAHA Movement Given Up?” They went after [HHS] Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. They say MAHA has failed, but they can’t stop writing about us, conceding that we control the narrative, that we’re becoming the story.

Here’s the first thing you need to know: The person they had write this thing, David Wallace-Wells, has a history. Back in 2017 [writing for New York Magazine], he put out one of the most alarmist climate pieces you ever saw — the planet’s about to become uninhabitable, the whole doomsday show. And a whole lot of the claims in that article — later walked back. Retracted. Shown to be wrong. He scared a lot of people half to death with things that weren’t true.

So that’s the disgraced, the utterly disgraced journalist the Times hands the pen to. Somebody with a track record of peddling fear. And as far as I can tell, he never picked up the phone and talked to Jay Bhattacharya. Never talked to Bobby Kennedy. Doesn’t know the first thing about the people he’s writing about. He just read all the old hit pieces and, I’d bet, made the rounds with the same kinds of DC lobbyists he probably talked to for the article that lost him every shred of credibility.

And what’s he actually defending? That’s the real question. He’s defending the status quo. He’s defending a system where America spends two, three times what other wealthy countries spend on healthcare — and gets the worst outcomes in the whole
industrialized world. Bottom of the pack, category after category. The people
this article wants you to keep trusting, keep listening to, keep handing the
microphone — those are the very people who failed this country.

For a generation. They lied to us. They vilified anybody who tried to tell the truth.
And this article is just the next chapter in that same story. It’s part of the
playbook to poison us, censor us, and propagandize us.

Think about Covid for a second. We’re about four percent of the world’s population. And we accounted for something like a sixth of the world’s deaths. Sit with that. We did just about everything wrong — and the same crowd that got it wrong wants a pat on the back and a promise that we’ll keep doing it their way. That’s what this Times
piece is. It’s an argument for a system that’s been failing us for generations,
dressed up to look like wisdom.

And let me tell you what I find funny. They put a thing like this out on a hundred-degree day in New York City. Why? Because a scared, sweltering city is exactly the audience for a fear piece. They’re hoping it slides right into the narrative. They’re hoping you don’t read too closely. They’re hoping you don’t look at who wrote it. They’re hoping you feel it instead of check it. Because this isn’t journalism. It’s
pharma propaganda: If they didn’t pay Wallace-Wells, they clearly should have.

The New York Times operates like a marketing arm — for Big Pharma, for Big Food, for Big Ag. The same companies that have spent decades putting thousands of chemicals into what our kids eat and drink, the drugs and vaccines they are forced to take. And you can’t have real science without an honest press. You just can’t. When a paper that powerful is spewing lies day after day, people’s health pays the price.
Real people. Real families.

So why come after us this hard? Simple. Because we’re a threat to the status quo — and the status quo has a lot of money at stake. When they ignore you, you’re not a problem. When they attack you, you’re winning. And they are attacking, which tells me all I need to know.

Now, here’s the part they’ll never understand about this movement. They point at MAHA and they say, “look, they’re fractured, they don’t all agree.” And you know what I say? Good. That’s the point. We want a system with the widest possible range of
ideas, where the best ones win because they actually get better results — not
because some gatekeeper decided which opinions you’re allowed to hear.

Right now Americans travel all over the world for treatments they can’t get here. That’s backwards. This should be the country people come to for the healthiest food, the safest medicine, the most innovative treatments on Earth. We led once. We can lead again. That’s what MAHA is all about. Desperate articles show we’re winning and they are terrified.

We are never going to be quiet, we are never going to back down, and we are never going to stop. This is a revolution and tens of millions of Americans have seen too much to unsee it, suffered too much to forget it. Mark my words: We are up against the most powerful and nefarious forces on earth and we are not afraid. We are just
getting started.

On today’s show we have an impressive line-up of speakers who have been on the frontlines of information warfare, defending free thought and free speech and exposing the propaganda and fear porn of the mainstream media.

[The MAHA Media Hub, hosted by Tony Lyons, streams every Wednesday at 4pm Eastern. Below are Lyons’ remarks from June 24]

Welcome to the MAHA Media Hub, and welcome to the MAHA Revolution. I’m Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Action.

Today we’re going to talk about something that sits underneath every other fight we have — because if we lose this one, we lose all of them. I’m talking about censorship. I’m talking about propaganda;the quiet machinery that decides what you’re allowed to find, what you’re allowed to read, and ultimately what you’re allowed to think.

Here’s the thing. You can win the argument on the science. You can have the data, the studies, the real-world evidence all on your side. And it won’t matter one bit if the American people can never find it. That’s the game. They don’t have to beat your ideas in the open. They just have to make sure your ideas never see the light of day.

For years, that’s exactly what happened to this movement. Bobby Kennedy’s The Real Anthony Fauci, arguably the most important book of our generation, sold 1.4 million copies and was, at the same time, one of the most censored books in recent history. When it came out, it wouldn’t appear in search results on Amazon — you had to type the entire title into the search bar just to find it. And when you finally located the listing page, at the very top was a reference to a fake CDC website. It wasn’t available in bookstores or libraries or most websites. It was omitted or lowered on bestseller lists. It was called misinformation. Think about that. A runaway bestseller that the gatekeepers tried their best to bury. That’s not a free marketplace of ideas:That’s a rigged one.

So let’s talk about how the rigging actually works, because most people don’t see it.

Start with search. When you type a question into Google, you probably assume you’re getting the best answer, or at least the most relevant one. You’re not. You’re getting the answer somebody decided you should see. Type in a question about vaccine safety, about a particular drug, about an alternative treatment — and watch what comes up first. Time after time, it’s the same handful of establishment sites, the same corporate-friendly fact-checkers, the same official sources that have been wrong before and will be wrong again. The dissenting voices, the independent researchers, the doctors asking hard questions — they’re buried on Page 5, Page 10, or scrubbed entirely. Most people never click past the first few results, and the people who design these systems know that. The ranking is the censorship. They don’t have to delete anything. They just have to make sure you never scroll far enough to find it.

Then there’s Wikipedia — often the first source that comes up in that same Google search. A lot of people still treat it like a neutral encyclopedia; the people’s reference, written by everybody, owned by nobody. That’s the myth. The reality is that on any contested topic, a small number of anonymous editors control the page. They decide which sources count and which don’t. And, surprise! The sources they trust are the very same legacy outlets that have spent years smearing this movement, while the independent voices get dismissed as “unreliable.” The co-founder of Wikipedia himself, Larry Sanger, has said the site abandoned its original commitment to neutrality. Try editing the page of anyone in the MAHA world and see how long your edit survives. Minutes, if that. It gets reverted, the page gets locked, and the official narrative snaps right back into place.

And here’s the part that should really keep you up at night.

We Americans like to tell ourselves we live in a free society. After all, we have the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. In the old communist countries, censorship was out in the open. Everybody knew the state ran the newspapers. Everybody knew the official story was the official story. The lie was obvious, so people developed a kind of immunity to it. They read between the lines. They trusted their own intuition over the headline. They knew they were being lied to, and that knowledge protected them and made them strong.

Here, it’s the opposite, and that makes it much worse. Here, most people genuinely believe they have free and open access to the truth. They believe Google just shows them what’s relevant. They believe Wikipedia is neutral. They believe the fact-checkers are protecting them. They believe The New York Times is practicing journalism. And because they trust the system, they never think to question it. A man who knows he’s in a cage can look for the door. A man who’s been convinced he’s already free will never even look. That’s the more sophisticated, more dangerous form of control — the kind that doesn’t feel like control at all. The kind that hands you a curated version of reality and lets you believe you chose it yourself.

The control is subtle. It’s a shadowban, a controversial post that mysteriously reaches almost no one. It’s an algorithm that throttles one voice and amplifies another. And sometimes it’s even quieter than that: a meaningless book, a book no reasonable person would read like Jill Biden’s book is listed as a No. 1 New York Times Bestseller. At the very same time, Eric Metaxas’s patriotic book Revolution, mysteriously banned at Barnes and Noble and hundreds of other left-leaning bookstores, sells almost double the copies — and ranked second. Our controlled information ecosystem is filled with such insidious examples.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said it better than I ever could. “All we say to America,” he said, “is be true to what you said on paper... Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press.” He was holding this country to its own promise. And that’s all we’re doing here. We’re not asking for anything radical. We’re asking America to be true to what it said on paper.

I do want to point to one recent example where the control is not so subtle. On a recent JP Morgan client call, Secretary Kennedy was discussed in a presentation. What people on that call heard was nothing short of Big Pharma propaganda. They said he was anti-science, they said he was dangerous. And he is dangerous to the corrupt system that prioritized people over profits. Many of the reforms underway at HHS are focused on increasing transparency, reevaluating conflicts of interest, demanding higher standards of evidence, and addressing the chronic disease epidemic that has worsened despite decades of astronomical spending.

None of that is dangerous to MAHA moms, none of it is dangerous to any of us. But good news for us is bad news for those who poisoned and want to continue poisoning our children and all of us.

We want ordinary people to make informed decisions about their own health, their own kids, their own lives. We are not anti-anything. We just want real science, not the corporate corrupt kind, and a real chance for people to find it.

So here’s where MAHA stands. We are going to keep telling the truth on every channel they haven’t managed to close. The books. The films. The Substack. Our influencers, who reach hundreds of millions of Americans every single day — precisely because the old gatekeepers can’t shut them up. Every time they censor a voice, this movement gets louder and more powerful. That’s the part they never understood. Too many people finally understand how the system works.

Now, we have a tremendous lineup of guests today — people who have lived this fight. People who have been slandered, canceled, deplatformed, demonetized, buried in the search rankings, and smeared in their own Wikipedia entries, and who kept telling the truth anyway.

Today, we’ll be joined by U.S. Senator for Kentucky, Rand Paul; FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs, Grace Graham; and Michael Pack, director of The Lockdown Dissidents. You’ll also hear from some of the most censored voices in the MAHA movement: gastroenterologist, film director, and author Dr. Andrew Wakefield; “The Knowledge Doc,” Dr. Eric Berg; Covid vaccine injury treatment specialist, author, and researcher Dr. Pierre Kory; professor of medicine and a specialist in internal medicine and homeopathy, Dr. Michael Frass; the CEO of Children’s Health Defense, Mary Holland; and comedian, podcast host, and author Russell Brand.

First up, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna who has been the U.S. Representative for Florida’s 13th Congressional District since 2023. She is a vocal advocate for MAHA policies, from rejecting pesticide liability shields to introducing the ‘Do or Dye Act’ to codifying the phaseout and ban of certain synthetic food dyes. She joins us today to discuss her bill to ban the toxic pesticide paraquat and protect Americans from Parkinson’s Disease
