45. Jeff Childers: Author of Coffee & Covid, Attorney Who Sued State of Florida
This week, we speak with Jeff Childers, attorney and author of the Coffee & Covid Substack. We discuss the legal routes he took in 2020 to gain the attention of the State of Florida and Gov. DeSantis, the transgender movement, and how he still can’t get Christian leaders to speak publicly about why the Church is “essential.”
Jeff Childers is an attorney located in Gainesville, Florida, where he lives with his wife and three boys. He has been actively involved since March 2020, providing truth, optimism, and hope as the author of the widely read international blog: www.coffeeandcovid.com. He is one of the nation’s leading attorneys standing against unconstitutional mandates invading citizens’ bodily and medical autonomy. Since the 2020 pandemic, Jeff has represented a variety of clients and cases covering many controversial topics. He has managed to get an appellate decision finding that mandatory masking was presumptively unconstitutional, and he also shut down the City of Gainesville’s “vaccinate or terminate” policy as unconstitutional with a first-in-the-nation broad injunction against a vaccine mandate.

44. John Frankman and Briana Cespedes: USA Sliding into Totalitarianism
Two of our past guests, John Frankman and Briana Cespedes, join us this week. John is a former Captain in the Army and Green Beret, who was, along with his men, told to wear red armbands to signal that they were unvaccinated. He left the Army due to the Covid mandates. Briana is a former Air Force broadcast journalist. She was put in quarantine for over 140 days in total, being reprimanded for not following what they maintained was a lawful order, and ultimately received a dishonorable discharge.
This week we discuss what they advocated for during the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) week, the signs of a totalitarian society, the need for political and spiritual renewal, and we call upon leaders to remember the Constitution that they swore an oath to follow and defend.
July 2 NDAA update from John and Briana:
We have been proposing amendments to include upgrading discharge statuses to honorable, reinstatement, and the forbidding of future mandates. Nine amendments were proposed for this year’s NDAA but only 3 are to be included in the final draft. Those three are the forbidding of future mask mandates on military installations, conducting a study on effects of vaccines and immunity by the Secretary of Defense, and providing reparations for chaplains negatively effected. We are highly disappointed by the lack of amendments voted through in this upcoming NDAA. We will not stop advocating until we see change.

42. Michael Schaecher: The “Potential Insider Threat”
This week we are joined by Michael Schaecher, a computer technician with the North Carolina National Guard. After receiving the Covid-19 shots, he refused to submit proof of vaccination to his superiors as he felt it was a violation of his privacy. He was fired, rehired, and then was refused access to do his job. He was eventually labeled a “potential insider threat.” He is currently being paid not to work and has several active EEO cases.

41. Kevin Biro: SHOCKING Transgender Policy in the Intelligence Community
Kevin Biro is a 20-yr Intelligence Community professional, having served in the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician and as an Industrial Contractor supporting various IC elements. As a devout Christian and former ministry director, Kevin has spent the past year navigating constitutionally protected religious free speech and practice in the intelligence workspace regarding the transgender and gender identity-affirming policies.
This week, Kevin shares with us how he has been pushing back against the Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 125, signed by the Director of National Intelligence, that violates his and many others’ deeply held religious beliefs. We hear how he has received open backlash from the primary LGBTQ+ group within the organization he subcontracts for, and what he is pursuing legally. We discuss why he thinks the intelligence agencies are limiting constitutionally protected speech in the workplace, and what happens to a society that fundamentally denies basic truth.

40. Spencer Chretien: Dismantling the Administrative State with Project 2025
This week, we are joined by Spencer Chretien, Associate Director of Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, the Presidential Transition Project. From 2020-2021, Spencer was a Special Assistant to President Trump and Associate Director of Presidential Personnel, helping to identify, recruit, and place hundreds of political appointees at all levels of government. Before his role at the White House, Spencer served as a political appointee at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

39. Matt Strickland: Covid, Gourmeltz, and the Establishment
This week, we hear the gripping story of Matt Strickland and his restaurant’s journey over the past couple years. In 2021, when he refused to follow Virginia's COVID regulations, he was sued by the state's Democrat leadership. By the time the case made it to court, Virginia was controlled by a Republican governor and Attorney General, but the state continued to pursue the case. We talk about what he makes of our two dominant political parties walking in step with each other through the Covid era and beyond.
Matt Strickland is an Army veteran who enlisted at the age of 17 as a Combat Medic. Matt was assigned to the 25th Infantry at Ft. Lewis where he arrived on September 10, 2001. He also served on Blackwater’s Counter Assault Team and in total spent almost a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, as a civilian, Matt worked as an Intelligence Analyst for the military. In 2016, he embarked on his dream to be a small business owner opening his first food truck, named Gourmeltz. His business quickly thrived, and Matt opened the restaurant version of Gourmeltz in 2018. As his business was flourishing, Matt, like most small business owners in America, almost lost everything because of the Covid mandate lockdowns. Unlike most small business owners though, Matt fought back. After a lengthy court battle, Matt proved that those mandates were in fact unconstitutional, and he won his case against the state.

38. Elizabeth Soliday: Vaccine Injury, Alternative Healing, and the EEOC
Elizabeth Soliday was a business agent at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington state at the time of the federal Covid-19 mandates in 2021. Liz became a Feds For Freedom class agent in October 2021, when she filed an Equal Employment Opportunities Commission religious discrimination class action complaint along with others at her shipyard. We discuss her son’s vaccine injury that catapulted her into the medical freedom fight and qualified her to become a leader in the battle for religious freedom. We talk about where the shipyard’s EEOC complaint stands now and what she would encourage all American citizens to do going forward.
