05/13/25 FDA Vaccine Warning: Military Purges DEI as Sitting Threatens Brains

In this episode, Ted and Austin Broer examine controversial cultural developments, health research breakthroughs, and significant policy shifts impacting Americans.

The hosts begin with a candid discussion of Kanye West's controversial new song "Heil Hitler," which has garnered millions of streams despite being banned from multiple platforms. They explore the historical context of anti-Semitic imagery, referencing a 2,300-year-old sword discovered in France bearing a swastika symbol, while analyzing the complex dynamics of free speech versus harmful rhetoric.

Health alerts feature prominently as Austin reports the FDA's unexpected advisory against the Qing Kong Young Long vaccine following 17 adverse events. The hosts question the unusual nature of this warning, speculating about potential conflicts of interest with major investment houses like BlackRock and Vanguard who typically maintain interests in pharmaceutical companies.

Cognitive health takes center stage with Ted highlighting groundbreaking research from Vanderbilt University linking sedentary behavior to a 42% higher risk of Alzheimer's disease—even among those who exercise regularly. The hosts emphasize the importance of movement throughout the day, advocating for standing desks and regular physical activity.

Global security concerns emerge as the discussion turns to a critical shortage of gunpowder and TNT affecting artillery shell production for conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. This leads to examination of military technology evolution and questions about why modern warfare still relies on centuries-old explosive compounds.

Educational controversies surface with Ted reporting on a Michigan elementary school replacing Mother's Day and Father's Day with "Special People Day," which they attribute to Cultural Marxism's influence in educational institutions. This connects to their analysis of Florida's popularity during COVID-19 due to its more relaxed restrictions compared to other states.

Nutritional science highlights include Austin's breakdown of research showing processed foods increase insomnia risk by 53%, while offering practical supplementation advice including melatonin, magnesium, and creatine for better sleep and cognitive function.

The episode concludes with a significant policy development as Ted details the Pentagon's directive to purge DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) themed books from military libraries by May 21, under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This extends to Department of Defense Education facilities across military bases globally, with specific prohibitions on children's books featuring LGBTQ themes or racial identity explorations.

Throughout the conversation, the hosts integrate personal anecdotes, historical context, and practical health guidance while examining the intersection of policy, culture, and wellness in contemporary America.
