Why Questioning Authority Is More Important Than Ever

Start with a jolt of radical clarity: what if the moment you felt most powerless became the reason you learned to think for yourself? That’s the spark behind this conversation, where we unpack how five and a half years behind bars stripped away conditioning, exposed the incentives beneath polite narratives, and trained us to trust people while still verifying their claims. From that vantage point, the world looks different—policies shift, experts disagree, and the loudest voices often repeat what they were taught rather than what the evidence supports.

We take that mindset into the messy arena of public health and everyday choices. COVID policies promised certainty while daily life revealed contradictions—like distancing rules that vanished the moment you boarded a plane. We look at the real costs of isolation on families and mental health, and why shame-based tactics shut down the very questions that make science stronger. Then we connect the dots across food and pharma: how additives, ultra-processed diets, and profit models create lifelong customers instead of solving root causes. The point isn’t to reject medicine or nutrition science; it’s to map incentives and demand transparency.

The heart of the episode explores childhood vaccines with care and precision, zeroing in on timing, necessity, and risk. We discuss why the newborn hepatitis B shot raises fair questions, how recent CDC guidance changes shift the landscape, and why state-by-state mandates leave parents confused. Rather than fueling division, we argue for a standard of open evidence, informed consent, and respect for responsible skepticism. Healthy skepticism isn’t rebellion for its own sake—it’s love in action for our families.

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
My biggest blessing was being in prison for five and
a half years and coming out andbeing able to just analyze
society and people's motives andtheir behavior.
Like I had the privilege ofbeing removed from society,
removed from your conditioning,removed from these shameful
tactics that manipulate yourbehavior, removed from the
judgment that's placed onpeople.
I had a different setting I hadto deal with.

(00:21):
When I came out, it was soobvious to me who was
trustworthy, who I couldsomewhat trust, and who is just
complete, completely full ofcrap.
90% of the stuff you see on themedia, that you hear
professionals spewing, it's allstuff that they were told was
true, but it's not actuallytrue.
Like doctors, they went toschool, they read books, they
studied things that they weretold were true, now they believe

(00:42):
they're true.
It doesn't mean they actuallyare.
Okay.
Like it doesn't.

(01:03):
Are you a free thinker or areyou a sheep that just bought
into the way things have beendone and you just do what you're
told?
I think more now than ever in2025, people are waking up and
recognizing that banks,government, even doctors,
they're not 100% accurate andright all the time.
In fact, challenging them orbeing a free thinker and being

(01:24):
open-minded is very intelligent.
You see COVID, and now all theinformation that's coming out
about the things that were doneor said in COVID that weren't
true, the restrictions andrestraints that were put on you
and your family, uh, that werejust somebody's best guess, you
know, six feet apart, masks, um,you know, but then you can sit
right next to someone on anairplane.

(01:45):
It just doesn't make sense, youknow?
And so I've just been someonethat has healthy skepticism, you
know.
Um, you want to believe inpeople, but you also want to
confirm and verify what they'resaying is true.
And when you grow up, man, youjust assume like doctors got
your best interests at heart.
They know what they're doing.
That's what they went to schoolfor.
Uh the food that we're eating,of course it's healthy.
Like, why would they give uspoison?

(02:06):
You know, oh, the pesticidesthey use, yeah, yeah, they've
tested all that stuff.
Come to find out, everything isnegatively impacting you and I.
Everything.
The air that we breathe, theyjust came out and said, yeah,
chemtrails are a real thing.
At once that was a conspiracytheory, right?
We just found out that all thedyes and additives and foods,
yeah, they could cause thingslike cancer and other

(02:26):
life-threatening ailments.
And now there's been a lot offocus around vaccines since RFK
came into office.
He's the first one that broughtattention to vaccines in a way
that creates healthy skepticism.
Okay.
The amount of vaccines thatchildren get now compared to 30,
40, 50 years ago, has gone upastronomically.
Okay.
They're bundling these vaccinestogether.

(02:48):
They're giving your child two,three, four, five shots of
vaccines all in one shot.
And the thing that really stoodout to me, I'm trying to
remember where I first heardthis, it might have been from
RFK.
But, you know, the issue andconcern around the HEP B vaccine
that they give a newborn within48 hours of being born.
You know, before hearing RFKbring this healthy skepticism to

(03:09):
light, parents just assumewhatever your kid's getting shot
with or done when they're bornis to prevent them from dying,
right?
You don't want your child todie.
You want to protect your child.
You want to trust the nurses,you want to trust the doctors.
You want to can you trust thepharmaceutical companies,
though?
Right?
Because then, you know, someonebrought this to my attention the
other day, and it was a really,really good statement, I think

(03:30):
that you should consider.
Pfizer, uh, these bigpharmaceutical companies that
have billions, if not trillions,of dollars in resources, they've
never cured one disease.
Pfizer Pfizer, how how do yousay their name?
They've never cured one diseasein all their years of business
with all their resources, withall their capital, they've never

(03:54):
cured one disease.
Isn't that kind of odd that thecompany that provides vaccines
and quote unquote band-aids forcertain ailments haven't
actually fixed the root cause ofthose ailments?
And from a business standpoint,why would they?
That'd be like, you know, if Igot every single person on the
planet healthy and fit and theynever need a fitness coach

(04:16):
again, I'd be out of business.
Well, that's what I'm trying todo, right?
I'm not a corrupt, shadymotherfucker like a lot of these
greedy people out there.
I actually want to help people.
And the reality of it is, bigpharma doesn't.
You're just a number, you'rejust a digit in their bank
account.
Same with these food companies.
And you can even say thegovernment to an extent.
Like, why, if you were thegovernment, would you allow your

(04:37):
people to be poisoned by thesefoods that have been
demonstrated to be carcinogenicand cause all these ailments?
You get sick, then big pharmagives you a pill, and now you're
a reoccurring customer for life.
I don't know, man, but withoutgoing down the rabbit hole,
let's go back to the HEP Bvaccine.
So, so evidently you can onlyget hepatitis B through
unprotected sex, which newbornbabies obviously aren't doing,

(05:01):
okay, and intravenous drug use,putting a needle in your arm,
drug addicts, doing heroin,shooting up meth, right?
Why would a baby, a newbornbaby, need hepatitis B vaccine?
They say, oh, it's to preventliver damage.
And well, if you look at theresearch, if a child's mother
who is tested multiple timesbefore delivery and giving birth
does not have hepatitis B, thechances of them actually getting

(05:24):
the virus are like 0.0000001 ina billion.
Now, don't quote me on that.
I made that statistic up.
But the point is, it doesn'tmake sense.
And mothers, parents, doctorseven have been bringing this
attention to light.
And people just say, oh, you'rea conspiracy theorist, oh, trust
the doctors, trust the vaccine,it works, it saves lives.

(05:45):
Almost shaming people.
This is dangerous, you guys.
Pay attention.
It's good to be a free thinker.
It's good to question authority,right?
If you don't question authority,that's how you have an abuse of
power.
And that's what has happened,especially in the health
industry, right?
Nobody is coming out sayinganything for years and years and
years because they're scared tobe labeled a conspiracy
theorist, fired from their job,blacklisted.

(06:06):
So they just go along with theway things have done.
And if you come out and speakyour mind, oh, you're you're a
horrible human being.
Same thing happened in COVID,right?
You remember all those lunaticsthat would say, oh, wear your
mask.
Don't go outside.
Don't get out in God's fresh airand beautiful sunshine.
Like stay inside, get locked up,like binge watch, what is that

(06:27):
show?
The fucking Tiger Man orsomething, right?
And drink alcohol.
That's why domestic violencewent through the roof.
Uh, relapse went through theroof for drugs and alcohol.
And we have all these statisticsthat show that locking yourself
up inside your house was theworst fucking thing you could
do.
After that, people are like, youknow what?
Clearly, our best interestsaren't at heart here.

(06:49):
And now more and more people arefinally starting to be
open-minded and free thinkers.
You know, my biggest blessingwas being in prison for five and
a half years and coming out andbeing able to just analyze
society and people's motives andtheir behavior.
Like I had the privilege ofbeing removed from society,
removed from your conditioning,removed from these shameful
tactics that manipulate yourbehavior, removed from the

(07:11):
judgment that's placed onpeople.
I had a different setting I hadto deal with.
But when I came out, it was soobvious to me who was
trustworthy, who I couldsomewhat trust, and who is just
complete, completely full ofcrap.
90% of the stuff you see on themedia, uh, you hear
professionals spewing, it's allstuff that they were told was
true, but it's not actuallytrue.
Like doctors, they went toschool, they read books, they

(07:34):
studied things that they weretold were true, now they believe
they're true.
It doesn't mean they actuallyare.
Okay.
Like it doesn't.
So anyway, finally, the CDC cameout and they said, you know
what?
Young children don't, newbornbabies don't have to get the HEP
B vaccine.
They don't have to, it's notmandatory.
All that commotion, all thatrhetoric, all the blacklisting,

(07:58):
all the conspiracy theorists,just like that, they're like,
you know what?
Yeah, they don't have to.
For the CDC to do that is isprofound.
And that sets a precedent forRFK, his administration, and
these researchers, whoever'svetting the vaccines, to go
through now and look at all themandatory vaccines and question
do our children actually needthis amount of stuff put in

(08:20):
their body throughout theiryoung, their young developmental
years?
Like, are these substances, arethese vaccines, could they be
detrimental?
I mean, we've seen autism ratesgo up.
We've heard of stories of peoplebeing vaxxed injured.
Now more and more people arecoming out and starting to share
their experiences.
And the thing is, like, we needto look into the fact that child
vaccines are mandatory just fora young person to go through

(08:42):
elementary school.
And not in every state, not inFlorida, but in California.
So it's like you have thesedisparities among states, and
it's just confusing for people.
We as parents just want to knowwho to trust, how to take care
of our children the best way.
And like, is putting thesevaccines in these shots in them
actually putting them more atrisk?
That's the last thing we everwant to do.

(09:02):
So I'm thankful and grateful forpeople like RFK, uh the Maha
movement, um, bringing attentionand awareness to the food we're
eating, the vaccines that we'reputting in our children, and
really our approach to healthand quality of life.
Because we just want the bestquality of life for our young
people.
So, you guys, the moral of thestory is like you'll see this

(09:23):
happen a lot.
Something that was, oh, this is100% the way it's supposed to be
done.
Uh, there's nothing outside ofour information that shows it
needs to be done any other way.
Like, you know, don't go againstus, or we're gonna blacklist
you, we're gonna make you feelashamed, we're gonna outcast
you.
All of a sudden you see peoplechange up their tune.
This isn't the first time ithappens.
It happens all the time.
You're gonna continue to see newinformation come to light.

(09:44):
And just remember, man, the bestthing you can do as a parent, as
a person in society right now isbe open minded, be a free
thinker.
Don't be a sheep.
