Register NOW: National Security Beyond the Headlines July 1, Washington, D.C.https://luma.com/nationalsecurity2026

What really happened on January 6th — and why do so many questions remain unanswered and, in fact, avoided by the current administration?

In this episode,Stephanie Weidle sits down with investigative journalist Steve Baker to examine one of the most controversial and misunderstood events in modern American history: January 6th.

👉Baker has spent years reviewing Capitol CCTV, police radio traffic, video footage, trial testimony, and official narratives surrounding that day. In this conversation, he challenges both left and right-wing misconceptions about what happened at the Capitol — including claims about police conduct, breached doors, crowd behavior, and the events surrounding the RNC and DNC pipe bombs.

The conversation dives into…

• The possible use of energy weapons directed towards the crowd on Jan. 6

• How Baker identified Shauni Kerkhoffas a Capitol Police officer & likely pipe bomb planter

• The controversy around Shauni Kerkhoff and Baker’s reporting

• Brian Cole Jr.’s innocence
• The lengths the current FBI went to bury Steve Baker and his journalism

Baker pushes back on false narratives from both sides and argues that the public deserves the full truth — not edited clips, political spin, or selective storytelling.

Note: At the time of this recording, Shane Stevens was the Associate Director of Healthcare and Insurance. He resigned shortly after filming was completed.

🔥 The federal government runs one of the largest employer-sponsored health benefit systems in the world — covering roughly8.2 million federal employees, with a budget of over $44 billion, dozens of carriers, and hundreds of plan options. Now, that system is being challenged to move away fromreactive sick care towards well care.

In this episode,Stephanie Weidle sits down with Shane Stevens, now former Associate Director of Healthcare and Insurance in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to break down the newFederal Employee Health Benefits call letter and what it could mean for federal employees, retirees, families, and taxpayers.

🎯 This conversation exposes the central problem with American health care:
We reward sickness, prescriptions, and repeat visits — but not prevention, personal responsibility, and true wellness.

Shane explains how the new direction pushes insurance carriers to focus on:

• Preventing chronic disease before it starts
• Treating the whole person — body, mind, and spirit
• Supporting informed medical decision-making
• Encouraging personal responsibility and health ownership
• Improving outcomes while lowering long-term costs
• Looking at non-pharmaceutical interventions
• Rethinking obesity, GLP-1 drugs, maternal care, fraud, waste, abuse, and trust in the medical system

This is not just a benefits policy discussion. It is a major signal that the health freedom movement is reaching the federal insurance system.

Is the State Department serving the American people—or protecting a broken bureaucracy?

In this episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie sits down with Foreign Service officer and Feds for Freedom co-founderMarcus Thornton to tackle one of the biggest questions in government reform today:What is happening inside the Department of State that needs radical transparency—and radical reform?

Together, they examine the systemic problems inside the State Department and Foreign Service, from accountability failures and ideological insularity to family policy, recruitment, overseas assignments, and religious discrimination.

🔥 Marcus suggests a bold proposal: Should the Foreign Service be reorganized as a uniformed service?

The episode also dives into the question: is the education system of concern to the national security of the United States?
