546: Resist Big Tech, Big Pharma, And Government Overreach With Leslie Manookian

In April 2025, the Idaho Medical Freedom Act was passed. Leslie Manookian of the Health Freedom Defense Fund crafted the legislation and lobbied for it to become law, in order to protect residents of Idaho from being fired, excluded, or discriminated against for not taking or using a medical intervention. What if you could pass similar legislation where you live? Would you like insights on how to preserve medical freedom for you and your community?

Leslie today gives us the back story on what motivated her in the first place to help her fellow Idahoans. And she describes the hurdles she faced as she pushed to get the act passed. She also discusses how Big Tech has been implicated in the suppression of our freedom, starting way before 2020, and why it’s so important to work in our local communities to push back against the encroachment of our freedoms from tech and pharmaceutical companies and the government.
