Joining The Feds this week is R. Davis Younts, constitutional attorney to military service members actively being suspended from the US military after declining to take the flu shot. We discuss the recent Cleveland Clinic study that found people who took the flu shot were 27% more likely to get the flu! We question who is possibly giving these orders under the current administration. We also discuss the three categories of military members who were harmed by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Service members seeking reinstatement are being required to sign this declaration: “My decision to separate was made freely and without coercion.” We end with a discussion of the lawsuits that will give Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, listed as a defendant, the opportunity to, instead of defending past unlawful military policies, use the Constitution as the ultimate law and policymaker in the military, and make whole those who have been greatly wronged. Lt. Col. R. Davis Younts, Ret., served as an officer in the Air Force JAG Corps and now worksas a constitutional attorney. He was ranked the number one senior defense counsel in the Air Force and has won a number of awards for his service record, including the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the Trial Advocacy Award from the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. Davis founded Younts Law in order to provide legal guidance and expert criminal defense to service members and veterans. Younts graduated from the Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University. He was a law student on September 11, 2001, a day which prompted him to pursue military service.Follow Davis on X: @davisyountsVisit his website: www.themilitarycounsel.comCleveland Clinic flu shot study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.30.25321421v3Check out Feds For Freedom's SubstackWatch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomSupport the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/joinFollow Us on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa

Vice President of the Commonwealth Foundation Steve Bloom joins Dawn LIVE! COMMONWEALTH GROW PA BREAKDOWN...  Harrisburg, Pa., April 11, 2024 — Yesterday, Pennsylvania Sens. Scott Martin, Ryan Aument, David Argall, and Tracy Pennycuick and Reps. Jesse Topper and Rob Mercuri introduced “Grow PA,” a higher education reform plan designed to support post-secondary opportunities and career pathways in Pennsylvania. Starkly contrasting Gov. Josh Shapiro's “blueprint,” which still lacks detail and uses vague rhetoric on the issue, the lawmakers' proposal presents a positive step in reforming how taxpayers fund higher education. The plan centers around student-based financial aid, institutional accountability, and workforce development for Pennsylvania's in-demand industries. Commonwealth Foundation Senior Vice President Nathan Benefield issued the following statement in response: “The Commonwealth Foundation applauds these legislators for reframing how we fund higher education. In contrast to Governor Shapiro's empty platitudes, the Grow PA proposal offers concrete, student-focused reforms. “Grow PA funds students in all forms of higher education—from career and technical programs to community colleges to four-year universities—instead of offering a blank check to institutions. Rather than throwing money at buildings, bureaucrats, and blatant censorship, it focuses resources on the post-secondary studies that our commonwealth needs. “Grow PA's scholarship grants would make college degrees more affordable in high-demand fields, such as health care and agriculture. The proposal ties these funds to results and aligns programs with employer demands, helping students avoid debt and a degree that will never lead to a career. “Grow PA represents an important step forward. But we mustn't stop here. Lawmakers must move all state aid to student grants and improve K–12 educational outcomes—through educational choice programs like the Lifeline Scholarship Program—to ensure high school graduates are college-ready.” Stephen (Steve) Bloom is the Vice President at the Commonwealth Foundation.Steve grew up in New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Penn State University in Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, and his Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law. He became shareholder in a law firm, later founded his own solo practice, and is now Of Counsel with Irwin & McKnight, P.C., in Carlisle, Pa., where he resides. He was an instructor and lecturer at Messiah College, teaching courses in economics, business law and personal finance, and has served as a faculty member for Pennsylvania Bar Institute continuing legal education programs. In 2010, Steve was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where he served four two-year terms. In 2018, he entered a competitive race for the U.S. Congress, finishing a strong third among eight candidates in the Republican primary.
