Today’s guest is Bettina Arndt. After years of becoming increasingly concerned about the demonisation of men in our society, Bettina decided to devote all her efforts to men’s issues.

Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, a General Dentist who is board certified in Naturopathic Medical Dentistry and Integrative Biological Dental Medicine, is one of the most unique dentists in the world. At the age of 21, just prior to earning his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Oregon, he felt called by God to become a dentist.

Here we go again! Ken McCarthy is a seminal pioneer both of the commercial Internet and citizen journalism. Time Magazine credits him with being the first person to recognize and articulate the importance of the click-through rate as a key metric for making the Internet commercially viable. In 1997, he launched the first news blog ever, a detailed account of an election fraud investigation in San Francisco as it unfolded. He was also a pioneer of, and in some cases directly initiated, the use of many now- common Internet publishing activities: email marketing (1994), banner advertising (1994), A/B split testing (1996), email auto-responders (1996), blogging (1997), push-button audio content (now known as “podcasting”) (2002), online video (2005), and mobile marketing (2008). He was introduced to the practice of science as an undergraduate at Princeton University where he studied with Julian Jaynes (psychology) and Bart Hoebel (neuroscience). He’s currently actively involved in advancing innovations in neurology and rehabilitative medicine through his support of fundamental research. On February 1, 2020, he predicted in writing on two Twitters posts that 1) the news out of China was suspect, 2) it gave the appearance of being a news media campaign for flu shots, and […]

Welcome back to a very one of a kind episode with your hosts, Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Jeff Barke.  In early 2021, we watched our colleagues, friends and families line up for an experimental “vaccine” that would change the world as we knew it. Mandates, slander, and censorship aimed at the unvaccinated population, simply for sharing viewpoints and knowledge, left us feeling ostracized and alone in our convictions. With long-term health consequences after exposure to our vaccinated counterparts unknown, we knew it was our duty to bring forth a safe place for the unvaccinated to find each other. We soon realized it wasn’t just about the need for romantic companionship. There needed to be a platform that brought together the entire community of free-thinkers who were not buying into the agenda. Unjected has now become a rallying point for unvaccinated people from around the world to unite. Learn more about this platform from Founder, Shelby Hosana, from Maui, Hawaii.  Sponsored by RogersHood.com, code IDM for 10% off cleansing and healing products!

Lindsey Graham is the Patriot Barbie – a loud, proud, pro-gun, pro-life, Jesus-loving, red-blooded conservative, Republican woman. She is a fierce voice for conservative women, a spitfire advocate for small business owners, an authentic patriot standing for American values.Her story sounds like something out of a wild conspiracy theory novel – it couldn’t possibly have happened here in America… yet it did. Lindsey’s personal fight against the unreal woke agenda of the left brought her to the table of American political discourse, but the left couldn’t stomach what she had to say. She’s been deleted from social media platforms, censored and silenced by the media, and even defunded by GoFundMe. Liberal platforms worked double-overtime in an effort to shut down her conservative voice, but she’s still speaking. And she’s not stopping. Listen to hear more about her spirit led journey!
