On June 3, 2024, Brian Joondeph, Leslie Manookian, and Bill Jack joined the show. Dr Manookian announced a landmark settlement against Disney in a vaccine mandate case and reported that grassroots pressure successfully blocked totalitarian provisions in WHO’s proposed international health regulations Jack explained his campaign platform through the lens of jurisdiction, arguing that government has invaded the proper domains of family, church, and.
Dr. Brian Joondeph joined Kim fresh from his son’s wedding in Nigeria to dissect what really matters in presidential polling. The physician and commentator argued that national polls generate headlines but fail to capture the Electoral College dynamics that actually decide elections.
Joondeph explained that the seven battleground states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, will determine the 2024 outcome. He noted that Trump leads in all of these crucial states according to RealClearPolitics averages, painting a more favorable picture than national surveys suggest.
On the Trump conviction, Joondeph characterized the case as a “show trial” with a predetermined outcome. He pointed out that the alleged crimes occurred after the 2016 election, making the theory of election interference logically impossible. The reaction from donors, he observed, has been substantial, with reports of $200 million raised since the verdict, including $70 million from small donors.
“To me, it was a foregone conclusion of how this would go. It’s like we’re watching a big show here, and it’s playing out. It’s lawfare. It’s trying to keep him off the ballot, trying to keep him from getting elected.”

Leslie Manookian, founder of Health Freedom Defense Fund, broke news of a significant legal settlement against Disney. A receptionist named Pamela Petroff who worked on American Dad and Family Guy requested religious and medical accommodations to Disney’s vaccine mandate and was subsequently harassed by supervisors.
Manookian revealed that internal Disney documents proved the company knew Petroff’s request was sincere yet refused to accommodate her anyway. Disney, which rarely settles lawsuits, agreed to settle the case, marking a major victory for employees challenging corporate vaccine mandates.
The discussion also covered the 77th World Health Assembly, where Manookian reported that grassroots pressure from millions worldwide successfully blocked the most totalitarian provisions of proposed international health regulations. The defeated measures would have granted the WHO authority to dictate pandemic responses, issue medical mandates, and implement digital vaccine passports across member nations.
“What happened was millions of people all over the world have been standing up and pressuring their public servants, the elected officials in their nations, to push back. And you know what? That’s what happened. Different countries were saying that we weren’t going to allow this.”

Colorado House District 45 candidate Bill Jack illustrated his campaign philosophy with a story about his grandson Chet, who released 34 chickens from a neighbor’s coop. Jack used the anecdote to explain how government has invaded jurisdictions properly belonging to families, churches, and businesses.
Jack criticized Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program as an example of state overreach, citing rancher Don Gittleson’s losses of 13 cows, four working dogs, and several sheep to wolves. He argued that the state has released “wolves in sheep’s clothing” throughout education, where policies have “ravaged students’ innocence” and “mutilated students morally and intellectually.”
“I’m in this race to guard our citizens’ nest eggs, fight Democrats’ pro-abort policies that destroy our future progeny, and defend against Democrats’ perverted sexual policies being foisted on little chicks. I’m in this because I want to see my grandchildren grow up in a free country.”
